A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a woman to 30 months in federal prison for stealing more than $159,000 from her employer over the course of more than two years.
Eileen Joanne Cruz Quitugua worked as a bookkeeper for an environmental consulting firm and cashed fraudulent checks that drew from her company’s bank accounts, court documents state.
Quitugua signed a plea deal in November, admitting to four counts of bank fraud.
