Macy – Recently, a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Rozzi resulted in the arrest of Deborah O’Connor, 50, Paulding, OH. O’Connor surrendered to officers at the Miami County Jail and was served a Miami Superior Court II arrest warrant alleging 10 class D felony counts for theft.
Rozzi initiated his investigation after the owner of R and W Concrete LLC and R and W Excavating, of Macy, IN, reported that an Internal Revenue Service audit and an internal audit by the business’s accountant, allegedly revealed multiple instances of business checks being written for personal expenditures.
Rozzi’s investigation revealed that between January 2008 and December 2009, O’Connor purportedly wrote several of the businesses’ checks for personal use. She then falsely documented the expenses as business related. She is alleged to have made unauthorized purchases totaling over $70,000.
O’Connor worked as the officer manager for R and W Concrete from 2004 through 2011. She was authorized to write checks and use the corporate credit card for business related purchases. She was not authorized to use company monies for personal expenses.
O’Connor lived in rural Rochester, IN, prior to relocating to Paulding, OH.
