Share Email Bookmark

A longtime employee of a North Dakota

credit union is accused of stealing about $130,000 from the

organization.

Georgia Schwartz, of Glen Ullin, is charged in federal court

with embezzlement and misapplication from a credit union, and false

entries. She has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say the money was taken over a 24-year period from

the Glen Ullin Credit Union, now known as the Western Cooperative

Credit Union. Schwartz allegedly kept two sets of records to

conceal the crime.

A spokesman for the federal public defender's office had no

comment.

Trial is scheduled Sept. 11 in Bismarck.
