Susan O’Hara, 56, of New Boston, was sentenced Tuesday by Wayne County Circuit Court by Judge Darnella Williams-Claybourne to 30 months to 20 years’ incarceration for embezzling more than $2 million from her employer, General RV Center in Wixom, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

O’Hara pled guilty in January to three counts of Embezzlement – $100,000 or more and one count of Forgery. At sentencing, O’Hara was also ordered to pay $2,147,858.55 in restitution to General RV Center.

“Embezzling from an employer, especially on this scale, can cripple businesses,” said Nessel. “I am proud of the collaboration between the Wixom County Police Department and prosecutors in my office who secured this sentence and significant restitution for General RV Center.”

As an employee of General RV Center, O’Hara used her access to the company’s systems and client information to issue checks to a person whose identity she assumed and cashed those checks.

This matter was referred to the Department of Attorney General by the Wixom Police Department. O’Hara was charged by the Department in August 2025.
