Woman already charged with fraud, forgery faces new counts

An Anchorage businesswoman out on bail on charges of fraud, theft and forgery has been arrested twice more this summer on more charges of forgery and theft, police said.

Samantha Delay-Wilson, 62, is now facing 27 felony counts of scheming to defraud, theft and forgery, according to police.

Delay-Wilson, who owned Money Sources LLC and Nona Oma Investments, was first arrested in January on charges that she stole more than $100,000 from a friend's account using stolen checks. She posted bail in February and was rearrested last month on charges alleging she forged a stolen check for $5,000, according to police.

Police arrested her again Tuesday on allegations that while out on bail on the first charges she deposited two counterfeit checks into an account, then wrote $5,800 in bad checks on it. She also tried to pay an investor by writing a bad check for $78,000, police said.

Delay-Wilson remains jailed at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center.
