ST. GEORGE — A former office manager accused of embezzling over $35,000 now faces multiple felonies.
On Wednesday, May 22, Stephanie Kaye Jackson, 39, of St. George, was arrested following an investigation into allegations that she had embezzled thousands of dollars over an 18-month period while working as an office manager at a local medical office.
Jackson was in charge of making purchases for the company using a credit card issued by the office, which she used to make 239 unauthorized purchases totaling more than $17,000, according to charging documents.
Additionally, officers say they obtained records of the fraudulent credit card purchases and checks, along with electronic cash transaction receipts and cash receipts with signatures that were forged using other employees' names, which indicated that $3,000 in cash payments never made it into the company bank account, the charges state.
Jackson was also accused of having office supplies delivered to her home and then deleting the account with the vendor in an attempt to conceal the orders from the company, according to the charges.
