Hysham, Montana woman denies bank embezzlement charge

A Hysham woman suspected of stealing from Wells Fargo Bank denied federal charges Thursday. Courtney Marie Batey, 30, pleaded not guilty to bank embezzlement as charged in an indictment.

Batey allegedly embezzled more than $1,000 from October 2007 until June 2009 while she was employed by Wells Fargo Bank in Forsyth.
If convicted, Batey faces a maximum 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby continued Batey’s release pending trial. The case will be heard by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull.
