A financially troubled woman who recently left Maricopa for Casa Grande is wanted in that city on charges of fraud, forgery and theft, and some believe she might not be far away.
Leanne Lemman, 45, reportedly used the financial details of her ex-boss on a self-indulgent shopping spree that included a pedicure, Botox injections and other spa services, as well as large purchases at several other local businesses.
“She stole credit card information from her previous employer, and she unlawfully used that credit card information to make purchases,” Casa Grande Police Department Det. Jon Campa told InMaricopa today. “She has been going into businesses and committing fraud.”
Creditors have sued Lemman eight times in Maricopa, Casa Grande, Florence and Apache Junction courts, Arizona Judicial Branch records reveal.
CGPD executed search warrants at an address associated with Lemman and found “probable cause to arrest her,” the detective said.
Lemman lived on Piccolo Drive in Rancho Mirage and owned another property with her husband on Surgeon Trail, near Quail Run Road in Hidden Valley, until 2022. That year, she got divorced and moved to Casa Grande.
A Casa Grande judge on Christmas Eve evicted Lemman from her mobile home on Battleford Drive. The owner sold the home last Friday. Now, police can’t figure out where their wanted woman has gone.
The police department today released a driver’s license photo and images from security camera footage, asking the public to help locate the suspect.
According to two people familiar with Lemman, she is not in Casa Grande and may be in Maricopa.
“This is still an ongoing investigation,” Campa said. “Hopefully, she turns herself in.”
If you have any information about Lemman’s whereabouts, call Campa’s direct line at 520-705-2381. You can also email him at Jon_Campa-Molina@CasaGrandeAZ.gov or call the CGPD non-emergency line at 520-421-8700, ext. 7.
