Office manager arrested for writing herself checks
A Shreveport woman is charged with felony theft after she allegedly wrote checks to herself worth about $32,166.
Karen Steadman, 34, of the 4200 block of Helene, was arrested after an investigation determined that she allegedly stole the money from her employer while she was office manager.
As office manager, Steadman worked for two companies owned by the same person – Larry Thomas and Associates and Travis Street Advisors.
After writing the checks to herself, Steadman did not record them in the company system. She also allegedly wrote a couple of checks from her boss’ personal account.
