Woman Charged With Defrauding Employer

A Minnesota woman has been charged with defrauding her employer out of more than $1.2 million to fund her gambling and pull-tabs addiction.  Brigit Marshall was recently charged with one count of wire fraud in U.S. District Court.   According to court documents, Marshall began working in a human resources role for a Minnesota-based trucking parts and service company in 2017. There, she managed the company’s payroll.   Between 2017 and May of 2025, Marshall created fake wage garnishments in the payroll system, instead diverting that money to her own bank accounts.  In total, Marshall is charged with embezzling more than $1.2 million.  Court documents allege Marshall used most of the money to pay for her “gambling and pull-tab addiction.”
