Three Charged After Iredell County Business Suffers Embezzlement Scheme

In August, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office received a report from a northern Iredell County business owner about suspected embezzlement by an employee, Sharon Klinger Rollings. The case was assigned to the Special Victim’s Unit, who began reviewing the company’s financial and digital records.

Detectives discovered a complicated scheme involving manipulation of the office’s accounting software and the use of multiple bank accounts. Investigators say these methods were used to reroute company money and hide the transactions from the business owner.

Evidence showed that Rollings used her trusted position within the business to take more than $179,000 in company funds between June 2019 and August 2025. She is also accused of making over $18,000 in unauthorized personal purchases on company credit cards. Detectives learned she also helped two family members, identified as Shane Adam Rollings and Marysa Jade Rollings Allegrati, unlawfully obtain more than $40,000 each.

At the end of the investigation, three arrests were made.

Sharon Klinger Rollings was arrested on November 18 and taken to the Iredell County Detention Center. She was issued a $75,000 secured bond. Her charges included:

• Felony Embezzlement over $100,000
• Felony Embezzlement involving a credit card
• Felony Accessing a Computer to Defraud

On November 19, Shane Adam Rollings and Marysa Jade Rollings Allegrati were arrested and taken to the Iredell County Detention Center. Each was issued a $40,000 secured bonds. Their charges included:

• Felony Conspiracy to Obtain Property by False Pretenses
