(AP) — Federal prosecutors say a Mississippi woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $600,000 from two Louisiana employers.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in New Orleans says 39-year-old Christy Bartholomew of Hattiesburg pleaded guilty to wire fraud earlier this week.
Sentencing was set for Oct. 27. Prosecutors say Bartholomew worked as a controller for a business in Slidell.
There, they said, she embezzled about $357,000 from 2016 to 2019. Later, as an office manager for a company in Kenner, she embezzled about $300,000 from November 2019 to February 2020.
Prosecutors said she used several schemes, including use of a company credit card.
