   Guillet was formerly the Tax Collector in the Town of Oxford before she resigned after allegations of theft surfaced in December 2009.  State Police received a complaint and Guillet became the subject of a two-year investigation into the larceny complaint believed to be in excess of a quarter of a million dollars from the Town of Oxford’s Tax Collector’s Office.  It is also alleged that Guillet was fabricating bank deposit slips and facilitating a complex check lapping scheme for many years.
