Serial fraudster and thief

USA, SOUTHINGTON — - A woman already facing charges involving theft from her former employer, her mother and the town is now accused of fraudulently obtaining a $125,000 bank loan.

Lori Wadman, 43, is charged with first-degree larceny and second-degree forgery. Police say she forged her husband's signature to obtain the loan. Sgt. Lowell DePalma said she did this in February 2004, but it was not reported to police until May.

Wadman, of 1048 Marion Ave., was arrested June 18 and is scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges July 7 in Superior Court in Bristol

This new case comes on top of many other larceny, forgery and identity theft charges against Wadman.

In the earlier cases, Wadman was accused of stealing an estimated $197,000 from Connecticut Cap and Seal when she was employed as its secretary from 2002 to 2006. She is also accused of getting a credit card in her mother's name and charging about $20,000 on it, including a $5,950 payment to a bail bondsman. Police say Wadman also stole $835 from the town's community services department.
