Authorities say a Rock County employee faces felony theft charges after stealing nearly $100,000 from a resident at the county’s Rock Haven nursing home.

Rock County Court documents say county caseworker Annabelle Strzyzykowski is accused of two counts of class H felony theft for taking money from a Rock Haven resident over a four year-span.

Sheriff’s detectives say Strzyzykowski had access to the Rock Haven resident’s bank accounts as a “payee,” and that she racked up about $92,000 in charges — as much as $80,000 of which are considered fraudulent.

Strzyzykowski was apparently working as a Rock County Adult Protective Services caseworker at the time. The thefts came between November 2020 and May 2024.

Detectives found charges for various things the Rock Haven resident did not buy, including a Netflix account and purchases from Kwik Trip and Amazon, along with cash transfers and charges at two local shoe stores.

Big Radio has reached out to Rock Haven and Rock County’s Human Services department for comment.

Rock County Administrator Josh Smith says the county plans to release a statement to address concerns over the allegations of theft at Rock Haven.
