    Armacost sentenced to nine years for $680,000 stolen from employer


    Employee of Greenwood Orthopaedics to serve six years in IDOC for theft
    (Indianapolis, Ind.) Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry announced today that Karen Armacost was sentenced to nine years for stealing approximately $681,000 from her employer, Greenwood Orthopaedics, PC. Armacost was ordered to serve six years in the Indiana Department of Correction and three years of probation. In a plea agreement entered last month, Armacost pleaded guilty to Theft (Class C Felony), Forgery (Class C Felony) and Attempt Obtaining a Controlled Substance by Fraud or Deceit (Class D Felony). An investigation by the Marion County Prosecutors Office Grand Jury Division determined that from May 2008 to July 2012, Armacost stole a total of $681,665.61 from Greenwood Orthopaedics while employed as the front office supervisor and accounts payable coordinator. As part of the plea agreement, Armacost was ordered to repay the total amount to the company as restitution. The financial fraud was uncovered by Greenwood Orthopaedics following Armacosts termination in July 2012 for presenting a forged prescription for Vicodin to Wellspring Pharmacy on the citys southside. As set forth in the probable cause affidavit, Armacost admitted to both forging and presenting the prescription. None of the personal or medical information of Greenwood Orthopaedics patients was compromised by the conduct of Armacost, and none of the funds taken by her came from patient funds or impacted the rates patients were charged. The Marion County Prosecutors Office has placed significant emphasis on prosecuting cases involving white collar crime, fraud and abuse. Cases recently prosecuted include: Cheryl Dillon-Britt was recently convicted and sentenced to 12 years for the theft of more than $200,000 from the Alpha Tau Omega Foundation. David Rees, an Indianapolis attorney pleaded guilty to stealing $270,549 from an estate and was sentenced to six years. Shela Amos was sentenced to 34 years for a scheme in which she led victims to believe that they were legitimately purchasing vacant homes that Amos did not own or have the legal authority to sell. -more-

    A charge of a crime is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. -30-
