WALL TOWNSHIP – An Ocean County woman has been charged with stealing nearly $200,000 from her Wall Township-based employer, officials said.
Jessica L. Schott, 44, of Point Pleasant is charged with second-degree Theft by Unlawful Taking, third-degree Forgery, and third-degree False Uttering.
Investigators received a tip earlier this year from a representative of the Wall-based company who used to employ Schott.
Financial records revealed that Schott was responsible for making unauthorized debit-card purchases and ATM withdrawals from the company bank account, as well as collecting unauthorized additional paychecks, expense checks, and overtime, in some cases using documents featuring forged signatures. Schott allegedly used the stolen funds, about $195,320 in total, to cover personal expenses.
Anyone with further information about Schott’s activities is being asked to contact MCPO Detective Michael Acquaviva at 800-533-7443.
Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
