Marsha Richard, 42, manipulated accounting entries for checks that credit union members had deposited but that had been returned for insufficient funds, according to authorities. Instead of crediting the appropriate internal account, Richard credited her own account or the accounts of family members or friends. She then accessed the funds that she had wrongfully diverted for her own use.
Richard had been named outstanding credit union employee of the year in 2009, having been employed at that time by the credit union for 21 years.
Sentencing has not been scheduled.
