Ordered to pay $100 a month
Former Luling businesswoman Charlotte Troxler, who pled guilty to the theft of $1.1 million from two car dealerships and Saints owner Tom Benson, was sentenced to 46 months in prison.
She is required to report to jail on June 22.
Troxler, 46, was also ordered to pay $1,066,038.45 in restitution and serve five years of supervised release under federal supervision. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman ordered her to pay $100 a month, and said that Troxler will never be able to make full restitution.
In fact, it would take more than 888 years for her to pay off the balance.
Troxler faced a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, but received a reduced sentence after cooperating with federal authorities.
Troxler was arrested in November 2009 and charged with stealing more than $300,000 from two car dealerships. Authorities say that Troxler stole $180,934 from the Ray Brandt Dodge dealership and $166,668 from Leson Chevrolet. She had worked as the financial controller for both companies between 2008 and 2009.
Troxler would deposit stolen checks, which were drawn on the companies’ bank accounts, into personal bank accounts she controlled at First American Bank, according to the bill of information.
In September 2010, Troxler was charged with another count of bank fraud committed during her employment with Benson.
The alleged thefts from Benson took place before 2004 and continued until 2006, according to the bill of information.
During that time, Troxler fraudulently created and endorsed checks that Benson had not authorized and approved resulting in the theft of $718,434, according to federal documents.
Troxler worked for Benson from 1985 until 2006, and said she left after Benson asked her to move to San Antonio.
She then opened Vous Salon and Spa in Paradis, but left the business in 2008 to work for Ray Brandt.
