An Oklahoma City remodeling office manager accused of stealing more than $100,000 from her employer is facing charges for the alleged crime, local television station KFOR reports. The employer, Above All Remodeling, contacted the Oklahoma Police Department after taking a closer look at its finances and noticing some questionable elements. KFOR reports:
"The owners of the company realized that changes were being made fraudulently to their accounts and that lines of credit were actually being opened in their names," said officer Megan Morgan, with the Oklahoma City Police Department.
According to police records, Sheila Lawson is accused of writing checks to herself from the company accounts for thousands of dollars. Lawson is also accused of using the company's credit account to buy multiple items for her home.
Investigators say Lawson signed lease agreements with the business owners' personal information and Social Security number, and even opened new accounts in their name. She even allegedly took her family on vacation with the owners' personal credit cards.
Lawson is charged with three counts of embezzlement, three counts of unlawfully using a computer network for obtaining money by use of a false and fraudulent representation, two counts of identity theft, unlawful use of a credit card, and conspiracy to commit a felony.
