Ex-PlainsCapital employee admits embezzlement in Texas

Ex-bank employee admits embezzlement.
Riley Paige Trotter pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal bank embezzlement charge, admitting she stole more than $36,000 from PlainsCapital Bank over 27 months.
Trotter, who was a part-time teller supervisor, faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million. The sentence also requires at least three years of supervised release.
According to court documents, an audit in July 2012 showed the bank’s cash vault was short $20,000, while Trotter’s teller drawer was short more than $16,000.
Court documents say Trotter admitted the theft to the bank. She began taking the money in May 2010.
U.S. District Court Judge Sam R. Cummings accepted the plea. No sentencing date was immediately set.
