Emily Anne Saupitty, 53, of Apache, Oklahoma, the former tribal treasurer for the Apache Tribe, was sentenced last week to 27 months in prison for embezzling more than $107,000 from the tribe. Saupitty was convicted last December on 33 fraud counts of embezzling tribal funds. She used the money for personal expenses, including travel and a computer as well as to "spread money around to gain political support as she ran for tribal offices,” according to prosecutors. Between 2003 and 2004, Saupitty deposited 8 checks from tribal funds into her own bank account amounting to $107,627.65.
