Kan. woman nets 2-year prison sentence for embezzlement

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Lawrence woman has been sentenced to two years in prison for embezzlement and ordered to pay $837,000 in restitution to her former employer.

The U.S. attorney’s office says 58-year-old Sharon Ann Holladay, of Lawrence, was sentenced Wednesday for stealing from Westheffer Company. The Lawrence business manufactures and sells agricultural chemical spray equipment.

Holladay was office manager and transferred money from the operations account to a petty cash fund she controlled. She also gave herself unauthorized bonuses and commissions and made unauthorized purchases with the company’s credit card.
