June 4, 2010 - Keith Slotter, Special Agent In Charge of the San Diego FBI Office, today announced the arrests of Margie L. Milisitz, age 58, and her son John Milisitz, age 36, of Carlsbad, California.
Margie L. Milisitz and John Milisitz were both arrested pursuant to a federal arrest warrant charging them with mail fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property. Both were arrested at approximately 7:00 a.m., in the 600 block of Saltgrass Avenue, Carlsbad, California. The Milisitzs were taken into custody without incident by FBI Agents, with assistance from the Carlsbad Police Department, and California Department of Justice.
According to court documents filed in this case, it is alleged that as an employee of the Baltimore Washington Medical Center (BWMC), Glen Burnie, Maryland, Margie L. Milisitz submitted false invoices to BWMC in excess of $380,000.
The false invoices were in favor of Global 1 Telecommunications and U.S. Cellular Engineers LLC, both fictitious companies established by John Milisitz. Margie L. Milisitz caused BWMC to issue checks payable to both companies purportedly for various telecommunications services and equipment that had never been provided to BWMC. The checks were subsequently deposited into the companies’ respective bank accounts and converted to the Milisitzs’ personal use.
Both are currently being held at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), and expected to have their initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate on Friday, June 4, 2010.
An arrest itself is not evidence that the defendant committed crimes charged. The defendant is presumed innocent until the government meets its burden in court of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
