The owner of multiple day care centers in Milwaukee was recently indicted on 16 counts of theft and wire fraud.

The 34-year old day care owner was indicted on similar charges in January involving the theft of about $5,000 from the Wisconsin food subsidy program and $24,000 from her child care centers. The woman plead not guilty to the charges and a trial is scheduled for next January.

The more recent charges accuse the woman of taking around $275,000 from state and federal child care programs.

Police began investigating the woman several years ago due to suspicious activity including building a luxury home with an indoor basketball court and pool and driving a Jaguar convertible.
