Teresa Johnson, 44, was charged with embezzling member funds ranging from $2,900 to $8,600 on numerous occasions from July 2006 through April 2009. The indictment says Johnson tried to hide the scheme from credit union officers, auditors and NCUA examiners by making false entries in the books and claiming the funds had been transferred to a teller number.

Johnson was fired from the credit union when the alleged theft was discovered.
