Tennessee Escrow Agent Awarded 15 Month Stay In Federal Pen

In Tennessee, The Chattanoogan reports:

• "A former escrow agent who authorities say defrauded Milligan-Reynolds Title Company of over $76,000 over a three-year period was sentenced Monday to 15 months in federal prison. Cindy Gail Almany pleaded for no jail time, saying it would make her family suffer. [...] But Federal Judge Sandy Mattice said some prison time was warranted to deter others from committing similar fraud. Ms. Almany was also ordered to repay the $76,487 she took."

Reportedly, the theft was accidentally discovered while she was away from the office. For more, see Escrow Agent Gets 15 Months In Federal Prison.
