Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said “This arrest reflects the exceptional work of our detectives, whose persistence, attention to detail, and commitment to following the evidence led to accountability in a complex financial crime”

Jennifer Kutler has been charged with theft by deception, computer criminal activity, impersonation and misapplication of entrusted property.
