A New Orleans U.S. District Court Judge sentenced a 30-year president/CEO of a failed Louisiana credit union to six months in prison Wednesday for stealing more than $1.4 million.

Judge Susie Morgan also ordered Jacqueline Ray, 61, of Biloxi, Miss., to serve six months in home confinement and to pay $1 million in restitution to CUMIS and $452,752 to the NCUA. Ray also must serve two and half years of supervised release.
