Latoya Chambers, a former credit union customer service representative and teller, was sentenced to two and half years in prison for stealing more than $80,000 from members of a Nashville, Tenn.-based credit union.
U.S. District Court Judge Eli J. Robinson also ordered Chambers on Monday to pay restitution of $84,416 and to serve three years of supervised release after completing her prison term.

When the theft occurred Chambers was working for the Nashville General Hospital Credit Union, which was merged into the $400 million Cornerstone Financial Credit Union also based in Nashville.
Chambers, 42, of Nashville, along with another NGH CU teller, Nicole C. Walker, 40, of Clarksville, Tenn., pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Chambers and Walker admitted that from March 2018 through July 2018, Chambers shared the personal information that she had obtained with Walker and then used the identities to make fraudulent withdrawals from the victims' credit union accounts without their knowledge or authorization, according to court documents.
After work, Chambers and Walker met to split the stolen member funds.
Walker is scheduled for sentencing in September.
