Kelly Brown Sentenced For Defrauding Local Business.
This incident involved office administrator Kelly Brown who was sentenced to four years imprisonment for fraud after syphoning funds from a local business (her then employer) over seven and a half months between 2010 and 2011. The amount of fund that was fraudulently taken was considerable, however, Ms Brown was battling a serious addiction to online shopping and gave in to temptation while working for the company.
Ms Brown allegedly created false statements to the amount of $85,000, however, had paid the full amount back to the company with total restitution at $130,000, an amount far greater than that which was taken, at extreme financial hardship for the family. After already having served 6 months imprisonment at the time of sentencing, Michael McMillan Law was able to help Ms Brown avoid any further jail time.
