WAUKESHA, WI (WTAQ) – A former business executive in suburban Milwaukee is due in court next Monday, for allegedly stealing over $168,000 from his employer.
55-year-old Jerry Guidice, who now lives in Windermere Florida, is charged with six felony counts in Waukesha County — 3 charges of embezzlement, 2 counts of false writings, and one charge of identity theft.
According to prosecutors, Guidice was hired at the start of 2012 to administer contracts for Novum Structures of Menomonee Falls. Investigators said he later created a fake construction company to which he made numerous payments from Novum Structures — and later put the money in his own accounts.
Authorities said Guidice used the money to buy an airplane and a horse, among other things.
Officials said he was fired about 15 months after he was hired, and the firm then notified Menomonee Falls Police. Charges were not filed until Monday.
