WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The former treasurer of Fontana has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for stealing money from the town and spending taxpayer money at a casino.
The U.S. Attorneys office in Wichita says 56-year-old Deborah Sell of Fontana was sentenced Monday.
She had pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return.
Sell admitted embezzling more than $174,000 from Fontana, a town of about 220 people.
Federal prosecutors say Sell issued city checks to pay personal expenses, withdrew cash using a city debit card for personal expenses, and deposited cash payments from customers into her personal account.
Restitution is mandatory.
