A Crown Point woman who was taken into custody Friday on multiple felony fraud counts for taking almost $81,000 from her now-former employer, a Valparaiso business, has checked herself into a rehab facility for gambling addiction, according to court documents.
The owners of D&K Electric contacted Indiana State Police on Nov. 27 after discovering discrepancies with financial accounts. The owners told police that Steinhilber worked for the business as an office manager, handling daily finances and accounting, and that she was terminated on Nov. 7. One of charges involves a customized golf cart for a family member, charged on the company credit card. A relative told investigators that “he has recently uncovered a multitude of fraud conducted by Sheri due to gambling habits in which she victimized her employer, family members, and himself,” charges state.
Several times, according to the charges, Steinhilber directed clients of D&K Electric to make a payment with her to receive a discount. The owners told police that Steinhilber “had previously created various accounts such as PayPal & Squareup in the past and had told her not to use these accounts.”
