WARREN — Sentencing is set in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court for a Sharon, Pa., woman who once was treasurer for Liberty Local Schools.

Tracey Obermiyer, 52, formerly of Brookfield, pleaded guilty to charges linked to the theft and defrauding of thousands of dollars from a Brookfield veterinary business.

She is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday by Judge Sean O’Brien after pleading guilty in late November 2022 to felony charges of grand theft, attempted identity fraud and forgery.

The charges all are fourth-degree felonies and Obermiyer could face up to 54 months in prison.

The indictment stems from Obermiyer’s job as the former office manager of Village Green Veterinary Service of Brookfield from 2017 until she was fired in January 2019.

The charges stem from an investigation by Brookfield detective Sgt. Aaron Kasiewicz that began in June 2019. Kasiewicz stated the owner of Village Green reported inconsistencies in payroll, taxes and bank accounts.

In a separate civil lawsuit filed by the clinic, Obermiyer has been ordered by a judge to repay more than $268,000 plus interest for using the business’s funds to pay debts and other personal expenses.

In 2012, the state auditor’s office ruled she paid herself illegally almost $5,000 when she was the treasurer for Liberty Local Schools. According to a search of court records, however, she didn’t face criminal charges in the case.
