AMARILLO, Texas – A former member service representative at Texas Plains FCU last week was sentenced to 30 months behind bars for stealing $221,000 from the $25 million credit union.
Shannon Layton, 32, walked into a police station in December and confessed to the embezzlement because she said she was overcome with remorse, according to police. She said she stole the money from a vault between 2002 and August 2009 and altered the cash count and other records to conceal the theft.
She pleaded guilty in December to making false entries by a credit union employee.
