U.S. Attorney Duane Evans announced that 48 YO Angela Mitchell of Ponchatoula was indicted for access device fraud, in connection with her embezzlement from a Covington company where she worked from October 2016 to June 2018.
According to the indictment, she is alleged to have diverted to herself approximately $116,998 from Company A by, among other things, fraudulently transferring funds from Company A’s bank accounts via electronic transfers and by drafting unauthorized checks to herself. Mitchell committed the fraud during her employment, and continued illegally accessing Company A’s accounts after she was terminated in June 2018.
If convicted, Mitchell faces up to 10 years in prison, up to a $250,000.00 fine, and up to three years of supervised release after imprisonment.
