Garrison, who was entrusted with handling the company’s finances, wrote more than 240 checks to herself, which she then cashed and deposited into her own accounts. The FBI investigated the case, which led to Garrison’s prosecution and sentencing. Garrison’s motives for the theft are not explicitly stated, but the large sum of money stolen suggests a significant betrayal of trust.
Garrison’s sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill, includes 33 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $393,025.09 in restitution to the family business she victimized. The sentence reflects the severity of Garrison’s crimes and the significant financial harm she caused to the business.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Greenough, who worked with the FBI to build a case against Garrison. The investigation and prosecution demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to holding individuals accountable for financial crimes.
Garrison’s case serves as a reminder of the importance of trust and accountability in business and financial relationships. The significant sentence she received reflects the seriousness with which the courts view financial crimes and the need for individuals to be held accountable for their actions.
