More charges are being filed against former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell--a lot more. Lee County State's Attorney Henry Dixon announced Thursday afternoon that Crundwell has been indicted on 60 counts of theft. He said the felony charges are based on 60 transfers to Crundwell's accounts between January 2010 and her arrest on April 17, 2012.

Crundwell was originally charged with one count of federal wire fraud. She is accused of stealing $53 million from the City of Dixon over the course of two decades. Many of her assets, including 400 horses, two homes and a luxury RV, are being sold at auction.
