GUILTY PLEA IN WWE FORGERY CASE
by sean Wed May 14, 2008 7:53 am
Kresten F. Ericksen, 58, pleaded guilty Monday in St. Lawrence County Court in Upstate New York to charges of forgery after signing the name of Joe Pelkofski, a WWE live-event marketing representative, on a receipt for $8,000 for funds that should have gone towards reimbursing the company for a June 2006 event but instead went among the missing.
WWE's allegations of wrong-doing on Ericken's behalf (they believe they were shorted $15,000) led to a number of additional charges relating to his poor handling of a student council fundraising account. Ericksen, who had not admitted to theft of the funds has promised to pay back missing funds to the school because they were lost under his watch.
The investigation into Ericksen has yet to prove where the missing funds went.
Ericksen will have to resign his position and could be sentenced up to a year in prison.
