COVINGTON, La. (AP) - A Louisiana woman is the second former executive at a local athletic club to plead guilty in a $1.7 million embezzlement case.
Jennifer Thompson is a former human resources director for Franco’s Athletic Club near Mandeville and pleaded guilty to charges involving theft and money laundering. The district attorney’s office agreed to drop a racketeering charge. NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports that 47-year-old Thompson will be sentenced at a later date.
Neither Thompson, her attorney nor the club owners, Ron and Sandy Franco, would comment.
