§ 205.300. Definition; punishment

1. Any bailee of any money, goods or property, who converts it to his or her own use,

with the intent to steal it or to defraud the owner or owners thereof and any agent,

manager or clerk of any person, corporation, association or partnership, or any person

with whom any money, property or effects have been deposited or entrusted, who uses

or appropriates the money, property or effects or any part thereof in any manner or

for any other purpose than that for which they were deposited or entrusted, is guilty

of embezzlement, and shall be punished in the manner prescribed by law for the stealing

or larceny of property of the kind and name of the money, goods, property or effects

so taken, converted, stolen, used or appropriated. 2. The value of all the money, goods, property or effects misappropriated in separate

acts of embezzlement must be combined for the purpose of imposing punishment for the

offense charged if: (a) The separate acts were committed against the same person within 6 months before

the offense; (b) None of the individual acts is punishable as a felony; and (c) The cumulative value of all the money, goods, property and effects misappropriated

is sufficient to make the offense punishable as a felony. 3. Any use of the money, goods or property by any bailee thereof, other than that

for which it was borrowed, hired, deposited, carried, received or collected, is prima

facie evidence of conversion and of intent to steal the same and defraud the owner

or owners thereof. 4. The term “bailee,” as used in this section, means all persons with whom any money,

goods or property has been deposited, all persons to whom any goods or property has

been loaned or hired, all persons to whom any goods or property has been delivered,

and all persons who are, either as agent, collector or servant, empowered, authorized

or entrusted to carry, collect or receive any money, goods or property of another.
