Fishers Man Charged with Wire Fraud

INDIANAPOLIS—David C. Sullivan, 45, of Fishers, Indiana, was charged with wire fraud, announced Timothy M. Morrison, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The Information alleges that Sullivan was the Chief Financial Officer of the Dodson Group, a business located in Indianapolis. Between 2005 and September, 2008, Sullivan allegedly used his access to the Dodson Group’s payroll and accounts payable system to embezzle $422,539.45 from the Dodson Group. Finally, it is alleged that Sullivan used his access to these systems to conceal his activities from detection.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley P. Shepard, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Sullivan faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
