Blauser, who was the district’s payroll clerk, allegedly arranged
electronic direct deposits of funds for nonexistent employees; the
funds then went to her, according to Tooele Police detective Todd
Hewitt. "Over the course of the last 15 months, she was able to
allegedly siphon funds out of their [the district’s] account into her
account, and she allegedly set up fictitious employees." Hewitt said.
"We were able to confirm 31 counts of forgery and second-degree
theft."
Hewitt said school district officials became suspicious when they had
trouble balancing the district’s account. After an internal audit, school
officials came across payroll listings for workers that did not have any
matching Social Security numbers.
District officials then turned to police for help. Tooele School
Superintendent Larry Schumway said Blauser has been released from
her job for malfeasance.
Another school district employee, Cindy Heap, who formerly worked
as an elementary school secretary, earlier was charged with one count
of second-degree felony theft and 11 counts of forgery in a different
case, according to Gary Searle, deputy county attorney. Heap
allegedly took just under $80,000 in district funds, Searle said.
Heap, 32, who resigned from her job, is scheduled for a court
appearance on December 9, before Judge Young.
