Local Woman Arrested in Credit Card Fraud Scheme
Michelle Wamboldt, also known as Michelle
Seefeldt, was arrested last week by Jackson
police investigators at her home on an outstanding warrant an arrest charging
her with grand theft, forgery, embezzlement and identity theft. The arrest
stemmed from a lengthy investigation of Wamboldt, who is suspected of
conducting a credit card scheme that defrauded Dr. Margaret Macleod of $44,000
while Wamboldt was employed as Dr. Macleod’s office manager.
According to Jackson Chief of Police Scott
Morrison, Wamboldt was arrested in 1997 by the Sacramento Police Department for
embezzlement, when she reportedly embezzled over 1 million dollars from Boomer
Construction where she worked as the Accounts Manager. Wamboldt later pled
guilty and was sentenced to 5 years, 8 months in state prison. Wamboldt presently
operates a craft store in Amador
City. Her arraignment on
these latest charges is scheduled for October 4, 2007 in Amador Superior Court.
