An investigation into Midwest Title Agency by the Ohio Department of Insurance resulted in the indictment of Gloria Long Wozniak and Michael Wozniak on charges of theft, money laundering, and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. The indictment states that both Long and Wozniak committed six thefts and six acts of money laundering and engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity.

The indictment alleges that Ms. Long, while acting as the president and owner of Midwest Title Agency, illegally diverted escrow funds from escrow accounts held by Midwest Title to other bank accounts. The funds were subsequently used for operating expenses, payroll expenses, and personal usage by the Wozniaks. The total theft from escrow accounts is suspected to be in excess of $1.6 million.

The Department’s investigation was lengthy because of the unique circumstances of the case and the amount of forensic evidence that needed to be collected before presenting the facts to the grand jury. The investigation was a joint effort by the Department of Insurance, the City of Powell Police Department, the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
