Stephanie and Scott Roskovski, who are facing federal charges that include allegedly embezzling $1.3 million from Butler Health System, walk into federal court Friday, April 26, 2019, for their second court appearance.

A Butler County couple facing federal charges of embezzlement is vacationing in North Carolina, despite a federal prosecutor’s objection, according to court documents.Stephanie and Scott Roskovski were indicted in April by a grand jury on charges of embezzling $1.3 million from the Butler Health System and placed on pretrial supervision.

Pending a verdict in the case, one of the conditions of their supervision limited them to remain in Pennsylvania, unless they were given permission to leave by a federal judge. The Roskovskis requested they be allowed to leave for two weeks — between July 2 and 13. A judge granted their request to take the vacation for a family celebration and to visit friends, according to court documents.

In the indictment, prosecutors allege that the couple conspired to defraud Butler Health System by submitting requests to Butler Memorial Hospital for business-related expenses that were used or planned to be used for personal expenditures, including “lavish vacations” and airline tickets. Specifically, the Roskovskis are accused of spending $12,005 in February 2016 in Greensboro, North Carolina “knowing that the funds were derived from a criminal offense.”
