Anne Headrick forged signatures of band council to secure a $330K loan in December 2021
A woman from Garden River First Nation has been handed a two-year conditional sentence for fraudulently obtaining a loan worth more than $300,000 while employed as the community’s housing manager in 2021.
Anne Headrick will serve the first 18 months of her sentence under house arrest in the First Nation and will be bound by a curfew for the last six months, according to a decision handed down in a Sault Ste. Marie courtroom Tuesday.
The former housing manager was initially charged by Ontario Provincial Police in December 2022 for uttering a pair of forged documents after an investigation was launched by members of the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch earlier that year. Headrick pleaded guilty to the offence on Jan. 30.
