Stephanie J. Roskovski, 49, and Scott A. Roskovski, 50, of Butler, Pennsylvania, are back in federal crosshairs—this time on tax charges—after allegedly stealing over $1.3 million from the hospital where she worked while he investigated financial crimes for the county. The couple, once seen as pillars of the community, now face a 42-count superseding indictment unsealed May 22 in Pittsburgh, exposing a years-long fraud scheme that bled Butler Healthcare Providers, d/b/a Butler Memorial Hospital, dry.
According to the indictment, from 2011 through December 2017, the Roskovskis submitted fake business expense claims to the hospital, funneling money meant for operations into their personal pockets. The stolen funds paid for luxury family vacations, concert tickets, high-end furniture, and even the 2015 purchase of a motocross racetrack, Switchback MX, LLC, in Butler County. Stephanie Roskovski served as Chief Operating Officer for much of the theft period—giving her direct access to hospital finances.
As charges mount, counts 24 through 28 zero in on Stephanie Roskovski for embezzling funds from a healthcare benefit program. Counts 29 through 35 allege the couple conspired to launder the proceeds, conducting multiple monetary transactions over $10,000 meant to conceal the theft. Meanwhile, counts 36 and 37 accuse both of lying to S&T Bank in 2018 to secure two loans totaling $1.8 million—layering deception on top of fraud.
Now, the feds have added tax crimes to the case. Count 38 charges the couple with conspiring to defraud the United States and evade income taxes. Counts 39 through 42 accuse them of filing false tax returns from 2013 to 2016—intentionally omitting embezzled income and falsely claiming over $85,000 in losses from a phantom private investigative consulting business called ‘Private Investigative Solutions’—a scheme especially jarring given Scott Roskovski’s role as a detective in the Butler County DA’s Office handling fraud cases.
If convicted, the Roskovskis face a maximum total sentence of more than 30 years in prison and fines up to $3.1 million, or both. The superseding indictment also includes forfeiture allegations, meaning any assets tied to the crimes could be seized by the government. Sentencing, under federal guidelines, will depend on the severity of the offenses and any prior criminal history.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch. The investigation was led by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, IRS Criminal Investigation, and the FBI. A superseding indictment is not a conviction—Stephanie and Scott Roskovski are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. But the evidence paints a damning portrait of betrayal from within one of western Pennsylvania’s most trusted institutions.
