Catalina Island business owners charged with failing to pay employees overtime

A married couple who own multiple businesses on Catalina Island are facing charges of allegedly defrauding their employees of more than $500,000 in overtime wages, and filing false and fraudulent statements with the state employment department, officials announced Thursday.

It is further alleged that the victims were particularly vulnerable, the offenses are related and involve fraud and embezzlement, and include the loss of more than $500,000, prosecutors said. The Catalina Island Conservancy says its deer-hunting plan is necessary to replenish the native vegetation on the island. However, as one might expect, the plan is facing criticism.
