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.
