WIXOM, Mich. (FOX 2) - A woman who authorities say embezzled more than $2 million from her employer, General RV Center, will now spend years behind bars.
Susan O'Hara, 56, of New Boston, received 2.5 to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of embezzlement – $100,000 or more and one count of forgery earlier this year.
In addition to prison time, she was also ordered to pay $2,147,858 in restitution.
The backstory:
While working at General RV Center in Wixom, O'Hara accessed the company's system to issue checks to a person whose identity she stole. She would then cash these checks and take the money.
She was able to steal millions through this scheme, authorities said.
What they're saying:
"Embezzling from an employer, especially on this scale, can cripple businesses," said Attorney General Dana Nessel. "I am proud of the collaboration between the Wixom County Police Department and prosecutors in my office who secured this sentence and significant restitution for General RV Center."
