NEW ORLEANS (AP) - U.S. Attorney Jim Letten says a former manager of a Whitney Bank branch in Metairie has admitted stealing more than $56,000 from the bank.
He says 50-year-old Karen Sork pleaded guilty Wednesday to bank theft, and could get up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines, and restitution.
Court documents say she was a banking officer and manager at the branch from December 2008 to August 2009, and sometimes acted as a teller. It says that when she did, she would regularly take cash from her "cash drawer," put it into her personal accounts, and fill in a false amount of money on the balance sheet at the end of her shift.
According to Letten, Sork stole nearly $56,300.
Her sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 10.
