LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A 60-year-old woman has been sentenced to several years in prison for embezzling more than $100,000 from a Lincoln hotel she once managed.
Margaret Faye Jones was sentenced Wednesday in Lancaster County to six to eight years in prison. She previously pleaded no contest to theft by unlawful taking.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/1i9U8P3 ) Jones was the manager at a Quality Inn for nearly two years. Corporate administrators say an audit revealed that she took $102,000 more than she deposited between August 2011 and April 2013.
Jones later argued that she stole about $16,000, not $102,000.
