From the Great Bend Tribune on 11/25/2014:
A La Crosse woman pleaded guilty Monday to embezzling more than $500,000 from
the company where she worked, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
Crystal Lynn
Jones, 34, La Crosse, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transportation
of stolen money. In her plea, she admitted the crime occurred from 2008 to 2013
while she was officer manager for Teel’s Trucks at 1200 Vine Street in Hays. She
wrote unauthorized checks from Teel’s company accounts at Commerce Bank and the
Bank of Hays for her personal benefit. She also conducted transfers on the
Automated Clearing House electronic network from Teel’s accounts for her own
personal benefit. She hid the thefts by altering entries on the company’s
accounting software and by forging checks.
Sentencing is set for March 2,
2015. She faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to
$250,000. Grissom commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Rich Hathaway
for their work on the case.
