Effingham Woman Indicted for Theft from Little Lambs

Effingham resident Trina Rothrock is free on bond after being indicted for allegedly stealing money from Little Lambs Early Childhood Center.

An Effingham County grand jury indicted the 36-year-old Rothrock on counts of theft, use of an account number with intent to defraud, and forgery. The theft count alleges Rothrock stole between $10,000 and $100,000 from Little Lambs between February 15, 2012 and this past May 7. The use of an account number alleges Rothrock used a Little Lambs credit card to purchase items online between last December 13 and May 7. The forgery charge alleges Rothrock passed a check for more than $770 on the Little Lambs account on February 21.

Effingham County State's Attorney Bryan Kibler said Rothrock was working in a bookkeeping position at Little Lambs when the offenses are alleged to have occurred. Kibler said Rothrock also faces a misdemeanor count of theft of services for utilizing discounted day care services at Little Lambs for which she never paid.

Rothrock posted $2,000 bond and was released. She is due in court on August 18.
