United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a man and
a woman from Mission, South Dakota, have been indicted by a federal grand jury
for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Wire Fraud.
Mark Edward O’Leary, age 35, and Sharli Colombe, age 35,
were indicted on February 14, 2018. They appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge
Mark A. Moreno on February 15, 2018, and both pled not guilty to the
Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 20 years in
custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the
Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that between February 4, 2011,
through June 6, 2017, O’Leary and Colombe passed at least 544 checks drawn on a
bank account not belonging to either of them. The checks were used for personal
items for O’Leary and Colombe and the purchases or deposits were not authorized
by the owner of the bank account.
The charges are merely accusations and O’Leary and Colombe
are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges is prosecuting the
case.
O’Leary and Colombe were released on bond. A trial date has
not been set.
