Answer
First, contact an attorney and seek representation. An employment lawyer is best. Missouri is an “at-will” employer so your indictment is a reason they can fire you. The other issue is what is the fraud you are accused of. If it is related to the business then they will try to hold it and you need to sue them for breach of contract. So you need to seek counsel to protect your interests, both monetary and penal.
