The former manager of an Illinois trucking company has pleaded guilty to stealing supplies from the company in order to sell them for personal gain. 

The scheme was carried out from July 2019 until the plot was discovered in May 2020. 

According to The Belleville News Democrat, Timothy P. Mayer, former manager of Jung Truck Service, used the company’s business account to purchase truck tires and then sold them for personal profit.
