A federal judge who sentenced Hampton on Oct. 30 also ordered him to pay $60,991 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release.
From February 2017 to June 2018, Hampton admitted that he accessed accounts of three members and forged their signatures to steal more than $9,000 from one account that belonged to a member who died in 2016 and more than $8,000 from another member's account.
Hampton also stole nearly $60,000 from a member's trust accounts.
When confronted by supervisors, Hampton admitted to the theft and was fired in October 2018. The former credit union employee said he stole the money to pay his rent and used cashier's checks to pay his landlord.
