The robbery happened Thursday morning, according to police.
Archuleta-Perkins was hired in 2017 by an unnamed law firm and later became the chief financial officer for that firm and a related firm.
As CFO, he had access to the law firms’ payroll systems and payment platforms, which he used to embezzle more than $1 million while employed, prosecutors said.
From 2017 through 2023, Archuleta-Perkins stole more than $1.3 million, spending some of the money on home improvements and mortgage payments for three of his properties.
