PORT SAINT LUCIE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Kelly Marie McKisset, 46, of Port Saint Lucie, on one count each for organized scheme to defraud and grand theft. McKisset is the former accounts payable and receivable administrator for a local Fort Pierce automotive dealership.
 
FDLE’s investigation began on Feb. 28 when the Fort Pierce Police Department (FPPD) requested FDLE to initiate an investigation into a former dealership employee. The complaint alleged that McKisset was using company-issued credit cards to make unauthorized purchases for personal gain. As the accounts payable and receivable administrator, McKisset’s responsibilities included making day-to-day business operations purchases, making cash deposits, balancing statements and writing checks to pay the company’s bills.
 
The investigation revealed that over a period of more than five years, McKisset used multiple company credit cards to purchase hundreds of online items and Visa gift cards, totaling $75,000.
 
On April 10, FDLE agents served a search warrant at McKisset’s residence and seized more than 100 stolen items including home goods, electronics, toys, appliances, furniture, Disney items and jewelry. She was arrested and booked into the Saint Lucie County Jail.
 
The case will be prosecuted by the State Attorney Office, 19th Judicial Circuit.
