Woman Embezzles $92,000 From Milwaukee Irish Pub: Report

MILWAUKEE, WI — A 56-year-old West Allis woman has been charged after authorities say she embezzled about $92,000 while working at the County Clare Irish Inn and Pub in Milwaukee.

Court records show that Karrie Spoerl has been charged with one felony count of embezzlement.

According to the criminal complaint, Spoerl began working at the County Clare in Feb. 2001 and worked there for about 14 years - the last seven of which she served as the official bookkeeper of the business.

Court records show that she was fired in April 2015 when her thefts were found by the an accounting manager.

The criminal complaint stated that the accounting manager found a number of suspicious charges by Spoerl. When bank records were scrutinized more closely, investigators say the accounting manager found numerous unauthorized charges between April 2014 and April 2015.

Based on the accountant's review of County Clare finances, via the 2014-15 bank records and the 2013 and 2014 general ledgers, Spoerl took without authorization approximately $92,000 worth of County Clare funds, the criminal complaint stated.

According to investigators, Spoerl admitted to using the debit card for personal expenses. She admitted to using the card to pay her student loans, for gas charges at Mitchell Market, at Melk Music, at Walgreens, at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, on a trip to Florida, and for plane tickets.

Investigators said she also admitted to using the card for stays at the Pfister, tickets to First Stage Programming, and tickets to a Dave Matthews Band concert.

Below is the full list of expenses that investigators said they found linked to Spoerl:
