A U.S. District judge in Harrisburg, Pa., sentenced Sherry A. Garner, the former president/CEO of the merged Harley-Davidson York Federal Credit Union, Wednesday to two years in prison for bank larceny and tax evasion.

Federal Judge John E. Jones also ordered Garner to pay $314,810 in restitution and three years of supervised release following her prison term.

In February, she admitted to embezzling $252,106 from the credit union between 2010 and 2013.

Garner, 53, of Red Lion, Pa., also admitted to federal income tax evasion for not reporting her embezzled income. She was also ordered to pay $62,704 in back taxes.

Court documents did not explain how or why Garner stole the money.

On May 31, 2014, the $2.7 million, 701-member HD York in York, Pa., merged with the $68 million White Rose Credit Union, also based in York.

The NCUA approved the merger in November 2014 because of HD York's "inability to obtain officials."
