ST. LOUIS (AP) – A former human resources director from St. Louis has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling more than $1.8 million from her employer. The sentence was handed down Thursday for 42-year-old Nicole Scott. She pleaded guilty in October to one federal count of wire fraud. She must pay back the money.
Federal prosecutors say from 2009 to 2019, Scott manipulated the
unnamed company’s payroll system so that company payments were made to
terminated employees, but with the money going into her personal account. Scott used the money on clothing, mortgage payments and other personal expenses.
