Federal prosecutors have charged former Winnebago County Purchasing Director Sally Claassen with embezzling thousands of dollars from the county over the past two years. She's accused of using her county-issued credit card to buy at least 60-thousand-dollars' worth of personal goods including resort vacations, kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances.
The charges don't specify the exact amount she's accused of taking, but after she resigned last September, FBI agents seized nearly three-hundred-thousand-dollars in her bank accounts.
