HANOVERTON, Ohio - A Columbiana County woman faces 25 charges for allegedly cheating her employer out of $600,000.

Sharon Ceasar, also known as Sharon Kay Miller, 48, of Hanoverton is named in a federal indictment, charging her with 25 counts of wire fraud.

According to the U.S. Attorney, during a seven year period that Ceasar was working as the office manager for Foster Trucking & Leasing, she submitted the hours worked by employees, as well as miscellaneous expenses, to a payroll company that issued paychecks.

The indictment alleges that Ceasar falsely stated the amount of overtime she worked, reporting as many 80 hours of overtime a week.

She also falsely submitted for reimbursements from the company for expenses she never incurred, according to the indictment.

Investigators say Ceasar defrauded the company out of more than $600,000 from 2006 to 2013 as a result of the scheme.
