Barrett was originally charged last August by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, when Northfield Center Township received a suspicious bill from Huntington Bank (formerly First Merit).  The Sheriff’s Office was immediately contacted and conducted a subsequent investigation, which immediately implicated Mrs. Barrett.  The Summit County Sheriff’s investigation, led by Detective Ann Manuel, is now complete and the case is closed.
