A bank teller from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has been sentenced for her role in a brazen embezzlement scheme that left her employer out thousands of dollars.
Kellie Cunningham, 28, was convicted of Bank Embezzlement and sentenced on March 6, 2014, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
Cunningham was employed as a bank teller between May 2012 and March 2013. During this timeframe, she stole money from her teller drawer for personal use and took steps to conceal the theft.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann M. Hoffman prosecuted the case.
Cunningham was indicted for Bank Embezzlement by a federal grand jury on August 13, 2013. She pled guilty on December 4, 2013.
Cunningham was sentenced to time served (one day) and 3 years of supervised release. She was also ordered to make restitution in the amount of $5,600.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilant financial management and the severe consequences of embezzlement.
