A Mt. Vernon woman was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail yesterday on dozens of charges. 44-year-old Kimberly Williams faces close to 60 charges total. More than 40 of them are theft between $750 and $50,000. All are Level 6 felonies. Prosecutors allege she systematically stole more than $100,000 from her employer, Mountain Glacier LLC, while she worked as the company bookkeeper. Police say she used the embezzled funds to buy bikinis, hot tub parts, furniture and to pay off debt, among a slew of other purchases. The fraud was discovered in late 2021 when Mountain Glacier owner, Jay Peterson became suspicious of Williams and ordered an audit. According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by the Evansville Police Department, Williams' manager at Mountain Glacier contacted police in January to report Williams had been embezzling money since 2019. Williams had a $10,000 cash bond, which was posted shortly after she was booked.
