A woman who has already pleaded guilty to fraud, Michelle Gushue, is now facing additional charges.

Gushue, 41, is accused of defrauding Money Mart, and an individual. She's also charged with making a false cheque and failing to show up for court.

She entered a guilty plea in October to several other fraud charges, admitting to depositing company cheques into her own account during her work as a bookkeeper for three St. John's-area companies.

An arrest warrant was issued for Gushue's arrest last week after she failed to show up to be sentenced. She was arrested shortly after.

Gushue has a bail hearing slated for Thursday.

She is expected to be sentenced for fraud on Dec. 4.
