CINCINNATI – A former official for Sheakley Group pleaded guilty Monday in a $328,000 embezzlement scheme, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported.
Angelia Zwick, also known as Angelia Strunk, stole more than $328,000 of workers’ compensation refunds from the human resources firm in Springdale while she worked there between July 2009 and May 2013, according to a release.
The 46-year-old from Cincinnati wired the money from her employer’s bank account to a bank account for a company she owned, Amerihealth and Life Solutions, LLC.
