Vermont bank teller charged with embezzling $13k

A Vermont bank teller has pleaded not guilty to charges she embezzled $13,049 from the Newport branch of the Community National Bank.

Thirty-nine-year-old Tina Bowen Brasseur, of Newport Center, entered the pleas Tuesday in Vermont District Court in Newport to four felony embezzlement counts.
The Caledonian Record says bank officials told police several large dollar amounts were recordered as debits on the Canadian exchange ledger that had been done by Brasseur.
Newport police say a series of credits and debits were not recorded, meaning the exchange money was not being deposited with the bank but was going in Brasseur's pocket.
Police say they spoke with Brasseur last year and she denied taking the money.
