NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested the head teller at a Capital Bank in Clarksville for false bookkeeping and theft totaling over $60,000.

The TBI said in a release that they began the embezzlement investigation in September at the request of District Attorney General John Carney.
