Junie Rezzonico and Donald Rezzonico charged with fraud, again

Donald Earl Rezzonico and Junie Marie Rezzonico were arrested by the Camp Verde Marshal's Office on April 3, 2024 on charges of felony theft, felony theft by misrepresentation, felony fraud schemes, felony fraudulent use of a credit card and felony forgery. The charges were declined without prejudice so a comprehensive forensic accounting examination could be conducted. The Yavapai County Attorney’s Office issued new arrest warrants this week.

The Yavapai County Attorney’s Office has issued arrest warrants for Junie Rezzonico, 50, and Donald Earl Rezzonico, 43, for numerous felony charges linked to a 2024 investigation into fraud.

On March 20, 2024, the victim in the case reported suspicious charges to his business accounts, to which Cornville resident Junie Rezzonico reportedly had access as a company employee. The Camp Verde Marshal’s Office investigation allegedly showed that both subjects knowingly used company funds for personal gain.

CVMO arrested the Rezzonicos on April 3, 2024, and booked them into the Yavapai County Detention Center in Camp Verde on charges of felony theft, felony theft by misrepresentation, felony fraud schemes, felony fraudulent use of a credit card and felony forgery.

The estimated loss to the victim at the time was estimated at approximately $314,000, with the dollar value continuing to grow as the investigation continued.

The charges were declined without prejudice at that time so a comprehensive forensic accounting examination could be conducted. The new warrants stem from that investigation, which charges the pair with fraudulent schemes, theft, forgery and taking the identity of another.

Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the CVMO Criminal Investigations Unit at (928) 554-8300. Callers can also contact Yavapai Silent Witness at (800) 932-3232 and remain anonymous.
