Sheridan Woman Arraigned on 14 Felony Charges

An arraignment hearing was held Thursday in Fourth Judicial District Court for a Sheridan woman charged with 14 felonies. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

During the hearing, 47-year-old Alisha Buszkiewic pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of felony theft and three counts of felony forgery. The theft charges are from 2015 to 2025 when Buszkiewic, while she was bookkeeper with Western Transport, allegedly made unauthorized transfers of money belonging to Western Transport with the intent to deprive the owners of that money. The three forgery charges stem from three separate occasions, one in 2024, and two in early 2025, when Buszkiewic allegedly wrote checks using another person’s name. According to court documents, Buszkiewic made 281 unauthorized transfers between 2015 and 2025, totalling approximately $474,853.

District Court Judge Darci Phillips scheduled a four-day jury trial to begin May 4, 2026 and set the pretrial conference for April 7 at 9:30 am. Buszkiewic’s bond was modified to include a travel restriction where she cannot leave Wyoming without first receiving the Court’s approval. Each of the 14 charges Buszkiewic has been charged with is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
