SPENCER WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO $800,000 MAIL FRAUD AT HILDRETH ENTERPRISES - Seabolt Facing 20 Years

(08/22/2013)
A Spencer woman, Rosalie Seabolt, 59, who admitted embezzling more than $800,000 from her long-time employer Roy G. Hildreth enterprises in Spencer, has plead guilty to mail fraud.

U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Seabolt, entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Charleston.

Seabolt is facing up to 20 years in prison.

Sentencing will be on Nov. 21.

Seabolt was the bookkeeper at a Hildreth enterprise Kimco Inc. (Roy G. Hildreth and Son, Inc.) an oil and gas company where she was employed for more than 25 years.

Prosecutors say from September 2000 through December 2012, Seabolt wrote checks to herself from the company bank account.

Seabolt, according to the prosecutors, altered the books with unauthorized checks to herself, which she deposited and cashed at a credit union where she had an account.
