BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A former employee of a Billings-based beverage distributing company has admitted to stealing more than $25,000 from the company and lying about her income on tax returns.
The Billings Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/1U8hJxR ) that Kimberlee Dunn pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to wire fraud and tax evasion.
Prosecutors say Dunn stole as much as $179,000 from Briggs Distributing while she worked there as an office manager from 2010 to 2014.
Authorities were alerted to the fraudulent activity after a fellow employee told Dunn’s superiors she saw her applying a check to the wrong customer account.
Dunn said in court Monday she is ashamed by her actions.
She faces up to 20 years in prison when she’s sentenced in September.
