SELLERSBURG WOMAN INDICTED ON SIX COUNTS OF WIRE FRAUD

0

United States Attorney Josh J. Minkler announced today federal charges against a Sellersburg woman for six counts of wire fraud from a KFC restaurant management chain.

Lesley R. Kruer, 42, was charged by indictment this week for her role in stealing over $250,000 in a 10 year period.

“Stealing from corporate businesses affects us all,” said Minkler.  “It increases prices we pay at the counter and has a generally negative effect on our economy.”

Kruer was the office manager for a company based in Sellersburg, IN., which operated 28 Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Indiana and Kentucky.  She was entrusted with the company’s payroll, to pay vendors and purchase equipment.  Kruer had access to and signature authority for bank accounts for the victim company and was authorized to use company credit cards for business expenses.

The scheme to defraud allegedly began in July 2004 and continued until June 2014 with the victim company sustaining over $250,000 in losses.

Kruer accessed the payroll system giving herself unauthorized raises and abused company credit cards pretending to be making business expense purchases when in fact she was using the cards for personal items like a foot massager and paying her personal cell phone bill.

Further, she intentionally overpaid vendors for goods and services they provided.  When the vendor would reimburse the company for the overpayment, Kruer allegedly deposited the check into her personal account.

This case was jointly investigated by the United States Secret Service and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department.

“This case demonstrates the strong partnership of the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department in protecting individuals and businesses within the community,” said Craig Hutzell, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Louisville Field Office, U.S. Secret Service.  “We will continue to leverage this relationship in our pursuit of those who would use illegal means and criminal behavior to take advantage of others.”

According to Assistant United States Attorney Tiffany J. McCormick who is prosecuting this case for the government, Kruer faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted.

An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. All defendants are innocent until proven otherwise in federal court.

Five Time Grammy® winner TobyMac has announced fall tour plans to support his August album release, THIS IS NOT A TEST, that includes a stop in Louisville. On December 11 at 7PM,  the TobyMac THIS IS NOT A TEST TOUR featuring Britt Nicole and Colton Dixon will be at the KFC Yum! Center.

Tickets go on sale at 10AM Wednesday, June 17 at the KFC Yum! Center box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.maxresdefault

Already laying the foundation to make 2015 one of the biggest years of his career, TobyMac’s first single from THIS IS NOT A TEST, “Beyond Me” currently sits at No. 3 on both AC Indicator and Hot AC, and Top 10 on AC Monitored charts. Earlier this year his GRAMMY® Award winning album EYE ON IT also received RIAA Gold Certification, representing a first for an artist in the history of his label, Capitol Christian Music Group, with each one of TobyMac’s five studio solo projects achieving Gold certification.

Since her debut in 2007, Britt Nicole’s upbeat, catchy tunes have been received with great enthusiasm. In 2009, she released her sophomore album The Lost Get Found, and its title track spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Christian Hot AC chart. Her most recent studio album, Gold, propelled her career to a new level of success, earning Nicole a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Album and an RIAA Certified Gold single for her hit “Gold.” The album’s appeal made Britt Nicole the most-played female artist on Christian radio in 2012. Nicole recently released her first ever full-length remix album THE REMIXES, and she is currently in the process of recording a full-length studio album, set to release this fall.

Colton Dixon quickly became a household name in 2012 when he made it to the top seven on Season 11 of American Idol. Dixon’s 2013 debut, A Messenger, set the record for biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act, becoming the No. 1 selling album by a new Christian artist and receiving several Dove Awards and K-LOVE Fan Awards. Dixon’s sophomore album ANCHOR, released last fall and includes the No. 1, most played Hot AC single of 2014, “More Of You,” and his new single “Through All Of It.” Dixon has also been named the latest Steinway artist, following in the footsteps of legendary artists such as Harry Connick, Jr. and Billy Joel.
