Sally Schrom, 66, Charged with Theft of Government Funds in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG – Sally Schrom, a 66-year-old woman from Mountville, Pennsylvania, has been charged with theft of government funds, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

The charges, filed in a criminal information, allege that Schrom unlawfully received federal military retirement benefits and federal civilian retirement benefits meant for another individual between April 2017 and November 2019. The stolen funds totaled over $73,000.

“Every dollar stolen from the U.S Government’s retirement coffers is one less dollar available for legitimate beneficiaries,” stated Patrick J. Hegarty, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service’s (DCIS) Northeast Field Office.

The case was investigated by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Defense Finance Accounting Service, and the Manheim Township Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli is prosecuting the case.

According to the charges, Schrom could face up to 10 years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine if found guilty. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Criminal Informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

The case is a stark reminder of the importance of protecting government funds and the consequences of theft and corruption. As the investigation continues, it is clear that the authorities are committed to rooting out those who threaten the wellbeing of our country’s military and federal civilian retirees.

Sally Schrom, a 66-year-old woman from Mountville, Pennsylvania, is charged with theft of government funds, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years of imprisonment and a fine.

The case is a reminder that theft and corruption will not be tolerated, and those who commit these crimes will be held accountable.
