A former accounting assistant at the $104 million Pinal County Federal Credit Union in Casa Grande, Ariz., who confessed last year to stealing almost $800,000, was recently sentenced in federal court to one year in prison and ordered to pay $555,571 in restitution and $200 in court assessment fees, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
