A Rock Springs woman charged with over a dozen felony counts stemming from an embezzlement investigation had her initial appearance in court Friday. 
During her court appearance, Circuit Court Judge John Prokos set the bond for Janette Marie Klapel, 33, at $20,000 cash or surety.
Klapel was arrested Thursday by county detectives. She is charged with 15 counts of felony-grade theft and forgery.
As described in court documents, Klapel began employment with No Bull Construction as a bookkeeper in September of 2013, when her name was Janette Olds.
She married Deputy Sheriff Mike Klapel of the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office on December 17, 2015.
On December 21, 2015, the company reported suspicious internal financial activity to the Sheriff’s Office and detectives put their investigation into motion.
Six pages of court documents related to the 15 counts outline instances of check forgery and fraudulent debit card use on Klapel’s part involving a sum of over $17,000.
Officials said Klapel will be facing additional charges as the investigation continues, and noted that Deputy Mike Klapel has not been accused or charged in the case.
