A resident of Freeburg pled guilty on Nov. 9 to committing bank fraud in connection with her former employer.
According to court documents, Michelle Miller, 45, worked as a business manager for two Belleville area schools, St. Teresa’s and St. Luke’s. When she pled guilty, Miller admitted using her position to commit fraud: she wrote checks from the schools’ accounts to herself, she made excess salary payments to herself, and she wrote checks to petty cash and pocketed the money.
