Case Against New Windsor Woman Accused In Rock Island County Theft Case Continues

The case against a New Windsor woman accused of stealing $900,000 during her time as a Rock Island County employee is continuing.

63-year-old Leisa Streeter appeared in Rock Island County Court on Thursday, where a 402 conference was set for Oct. 27. In a 402 conference, the attorneys for the defense and prosecution meet with the judge to determine if the pending felony charges can be resolved without a trial.

Streeter was arrested and charged with seven felony counts after the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Department and Illinois State Police searched her home last May.

Streeter retired in 2024 after working for Rock Island County as an administrative assistant in court services for 34 years. The Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office says she forged documents and opened a fraudulent bank account for personal use in 2003. Streeter is accused of funneling payments into the account and withdrawing the money to pay credit card bills, travel, transportation, and more.

She has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Streeter was granted pre-trial release with conditions, including home detention and GPS tracking.
