FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Another former BAE worker has pleaded guilty to stealing from the company.
Jessica Shutt is the 11th former employee of the Fort Wayne defense contractor – and the fifth in a week’s time – to plead guilty to wire fraud for taking money from the company’s tuition assistance program.
Her plea deal drops a second wire fraud charge and calls for her to repay $12,000 she pocketed from the company in reimbursements for college courses she never took.
The Journal Gazette reports a total of 31 former BAE employees took almost $800,000 through a scheme to steal from the program.
