Wikinews has tracked down a variety of criminal records. See
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Former_Chief_Operating_Officer_of_Wikimedia_Foundation_is_convicted_felon

The only one I see completely confirmed there aside from the DUI is her 
shooting

that directly pertain to the larceny or check fraud.
