A South Florida woman was arrested after she went on a nearly $90,000 spending spree on her company credit card, including personal purchases from multiple airlines, Uber and a cruise line, authorities said.
Lindsay Ann Mariani, 37, of Hollywood, was arrested Thursday on charges including grand theft and fraudulent use of a credit card, Miami-Dade jail records showed.
According to an arrest report, Mariani had been working for a company based in Naperville, Illinois, since July of 2023 as an assistant to the chief of staff.
Mariani had been issued a credit card for work expenses but an internal audit by a legal representative of the company found that between July 2023 and November 2024, she misused the card for personal expenses, the report said.
The purchases included flights from American Airlines and United Airlines, as well as charges from Target, Uber and Carnival Cruise Line, with a total loss to the company of just over $88,300, the report said.
"At no time did anyone associated with the victim company provide the defendant with permission or authority to use the company credit card to make personal purchases," the report said. "Documents from the retailers as well as from the credit card company confirm these transactions."
On Thursday, Mariani surrendered to North Miami Beach Police and was booked into jail, the report said.

Guilty....Not Guilty...? ;)
If breasts were brains she’d not have done that...........
Why would anyone think they would get away with this?
Guilty as hell...
“Guilty as hell”
Only Lazamataz the great, is the judge of the female flesh on Free Republic. None others only Laz. At times I speak for Lax until corrected. Thus I pronounce her not guilty but a lot crazy. Laz would like to date her.
You can’t buy plastic surgery on your company card? What kind of world is this?
Worked for a very large software company 30 years ago. They hired this early 20something kid and sent him to Bellevue, WA for some training.
He was back within a month and just disappeared. Never saw him again.
Turned out he used his corporate Amex to go on his own little $25k spending spree; Space Needle, basketball games, nice restaurants.
As far as I know he was just fired.
I thought maybe a good chunk of change went toward augmentation inside her top...
She must have bought those breasts with her ill gotten gains.
