Court records say she forged checks on accounts of two businesses for which she did taxes. Records say she cashed the checks between January 2011 and August 2011.
The records also say Healey obtained a credit card under her mother’s name in June 2011 and made $11,000 in purchases and collected $1,100 in cash advances.
She told investigators she had gambling problem.
