(Bartholomew County, Ind.) – Yesterday, troopers with the Indiana State Police- Versailles Post (ISP) arrested a Bartholomew County woman on numerous theft charges after a year-long investigation by the Indiana State Police- Special Investigations Section.

The investigation began on January 2020 when officials with the Central Marketing Transport (CMT) in Edinburgh, contacted the ISP when they discovered numerous unauthorized purchases were being made by a CMT employee.

During the investigation, detectives discovered that 42-year-old Jennifer L. Matlock, who worked as a recruiter for the company from 2013 to 2020, had used the company credit card to make numerous personal purchases while employed with CMT.

Further investigation determined that Matlock had stolen over $23,000 from the company from 2014 to 2020 as a result of these unauthorized purchases. Matlock allegedly used the company’s credit card to purchase gift cards from multiple businesses in Bartholomew, Johnson, and Marion Counties over a six-year period. She then used the gift cards for personal purchases.

At the conclusion of the investigation, a Bartholomew County warrant was issued for Jennifer Matlock on four felony counts of theft.  Matlock was yesterday without incident and transported to the Bartholomew County Jail where she was incarcerated.  Additional charges may be forthcoming in this case.
