Former Green Bay Swim Club President Facing Embezzlement Charges
A 36 year old Green Bay woman is facing serious charges from her former employer. Once employed as the President of the Green Bay Swim Club, she is now accused of stealing $30,000 from the club. She is currently in jail on other charges.
According to this article from the Green Bay Press Gazette, the defendant is facing two counts of felony theft. The thefts allegedly occurred in June 2009 but weren’t noticed until several months later when discrepancies became obvious in the club’s bookkeeping. Checks written on the club’s account were being returned due to insufficient funds.
The paper alleges that the woman was using the money from the Swim Club to finance her personal business. Embezzlement is a theft offense under Wisconsin law, and she is facing several years in prison for these felony charges.
However, these aren’t the only charges she faces. She is currently in jail on a probation violation for a fraud case in 2008. At that time she is reported to have opened a bank account with a worthless check written for $8,000 and then attempted to withdraw $4,000 of that money. She was sentenced to 6 months, but has earned 100 days credit for time served, giving her just a few weeks remaining on that sentence.
It seems she has had several run-ins with the law regarding theft. In one last case mentioned in this article, the defendant was also convicted of a theft from a former employer in 2001 when she stole $3,000 intended for children’s dance costumes.
Not everyone learns their lesson the first time around. For some, repeated court appearances are a normal thing. And while they might be accustomed to sitting before a judge, that doesn’t necessarily mean they enjoy it.
For others, a criminal charge is a life changing experience, one so frightening and humiliating they promise to never run afoul of the law again.
