A West Virginia travel agent accused of defrauding customers has been charged in an active investigation, troopers said.
Michelle Pauley-LaMaster, 47, of Charleston is facing 32 charges including grand larceny, fraudulent schemes, computer fraud, use of an unauthorized access device, obtaining goods by false pretenses and writing worthless checks, according to a news release from West Virginia State Police.
The release said late last month, allegations of fraud sparked an “extensive investigation” into LaMaster Travel LLP, leading to an arrest on Wednesday.
Pauley-LaMaster is being held at South Central Regional Jail on a $500,000 cash-only bond.
