New Boston Woman Convicted for Embezzlement from Employer

LANSING – Yesterday, Susan O’Hara, 56, of New Boston, pled guilty to three counts of Embezzlement – $100,000 or more and one count of Forgery in the Third Circuit Court in Wayne County, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. O’Hara was charged with eight felonies in August and alleged to have embezzled more than $2,000,000 from her employer, General RV Center in Wixom. 

As an employee of General RV Center, O’Hara used her access to the company’s systems and client information to issue checks to a person whose identity she assumed and cashed those checks. This matter was referred to the Department of Attorney General by the Wixom Police Department.  

“Businesses in our state rely upon their employees to not exploit their positions of trust and access to customer information for their own fraudulent enrichment,” said Nessel. “I appreciate the investigative efforts of the Wixom Police Department, and the collaboration between my office and theirs that lead to accountability in this significant theft.” 

O’Hara will appear before Judge Darnella Williams-Claybourne for sentencing on March 20.
