Sharlie Colombe, 35, Sentenced for Misprision of a Felon in South Dakota
A Mission woman who failed to report her co-defendant’s multi-year scheme to cash stolen checks has been sentenced to 3 years of probation and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution.
Sharlie Colombe, also known as Sharli Colombe, was sentenced on May 13, 2019, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange. The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred between February 4, 2011, through June 6, 2017, where Co-Defendant Mark O’Leary passed at least 544 checks drawn on a bank account belonging to the victim.
The checks were used for personal items for O’Leary and the purchases were not authorized by the owner of the bank account. Colombe knew of O’Leary’s activities, helping him to cash some of the checks and did not report it to law enforcement.
Colombe was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 14, 2018, which was followed by a Superseding Information on February 19, 2019. She pled guilty to the Superseding Information on February 19, 2019.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.
Colombe was also ordered to pay a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
