KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri woman who embezzled from Black & Veatch and Garmin International was sentenced to eight years in federal prison.
Patricia Webb, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, was sentenced Tuesday for embezzling more than $1.5 million while working in the payroll departments of the two companies.
Webb pleaded guilty last year to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The Kansas City Star reports (https://bit.ly/2p5oVUj ) Webb will pay restitution of about $1.5 million.
Prosecutors say she embezzled more than $1.2 million from Garmin between February 2012 and May 2014. She then took a job at Black & Veatch, where she embezzled more than $300,000 before the crimes were discovered.
Webb previously was prosecuted under the name of Patricia Holmes for forging checks while working at John Knox Village in Lee’s Summit.
