ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — A human resource officer is accused of defrauding a St. George company that provides group home services to people with autism and other disabilities.
The Spectrum of St. George reports reports that 27-year-old Jonathan Michael Heck has been arrested on eight felony counts of fraud, theft and forgery.
According to charging documents, he allegedly made up false timesheets for four short-term Chrysalis employees and himself.
He allegedly siphoned more than $15,000 in stolen funds between August 2015 and last January.
The former workers whose names were used told police the dates on the timesheets were days they didn't work for the company.
Chrysalis CEO Marc Christensen says Heck was fired as soon as the defrauding was discovered.
Heck is free on bond and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
