A woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly stole nearly $50,000 from a local restaurant chain.
48-year-old Michele Krzewinski of Sligo was arrested last week for her role in defrauding the Long John Silver’s inside Moraine Point Plaza.
According to a criminal complaint, the restaurant discovered that Krzewinski added an employee named Christopher Sweet to the payroll, despite the fact that he had never worked there. Police say Krzewinski was in a relationship with Sweet, and she would send him money while he was in prison.
Long John Silver officials fired Krzewinski earlier this year, and asked police to investigate the fraud.
She was arraigned last Thursday on multiple charges, including theft by deception.
