The Wasatch County woman accused of defrauding an Arizona couple in a wedding-planning scheme appeared in 3rd District Court in the Snyderville Basin on Monday.
Tania Clark, 37, is facing felony charges in two fraud cases in Summit County. This week, she made her first court appearance for charges related to a case at Canyons. Clark is accused of stealing about $28,000 from an Arizona couple after claiming she would help plan their wedding at the resort.
Clark also charged about $21,000 onto a stolen credit card while renting rooms at Canyons for wedding guests, according to Summit County Attorney David Brickey.
Clark is charged with four felonies for unlawful use of a financial transaction card, theft by deception, forgery and communications fraud.
Clark’s husband worked as head of security at Canyons at the time of the woman’s arrest. But prosecutors say the man is not a suspect in the case.
Meanwhile, Clark is charged in a separate case with several felonies for unlawful acquisition, possession or transfer of a financial card. She is also facing one count of felony theft.
While working at Silver Mountain Sports Club and Spa Clark allegedly used the company’s American Express card to pay her $959 phone bill, court papers state.
Clark did not have permission from the business to use the credit card, Brickey said.
He added that Clark also used credit cards belonging to two Silver Mountain members to pay her club dues and electrical bill without permission from the men.
Clark is scheduled to make a court appearance in both cases on Oct. 18 at 8:30 a.m. She has been incarcerated in the Summit County jail since her arrest in early September.
Attorney Paul Quinlan is representing Clark.
