SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA<\/strong> \u00a0\u2013 The former controller of a company that provides supervision services, including electronic monitoring programs, to courts and probation departments plead guilty \u00a0to federal charges of embezzling well over $3 million from the company over the course of two years, officials said.<\/p>\n

Steven A. Hagstrom<\/strong>, 37, of Anaheim, who was an accountant and then controller of the Irvine-based Sentinel Offender Services, LLC, pleaded guilty today to one count of embezzlement.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge David O. Carter set sentencing for Sept. 29. Hagstrom is facing up to 10 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

As controller of Sentinel, Hagstrom had access to Sentinel\u2019s bank accounts where fines, court fees and restitution payments from criminal defendants were held in trust.<\/p>\n

The accounts also held money paid to Sentinel for services provided to state and federal court systems.<\/p>\n

Beginning in early 2012 and continuing until April 2013, Hagstrom transferred approximately $3,338,197 from Sentinel\u2019s bank accounts to bank accounts he controlled, where they could be used for his own benefit.<\/p>\n

About half of the embezzled money has already been returned to Sentinel, and Hagstrom has agreed to make full restitution to his former employer.<\/p>\n

The investigation into Hagstrom was conducted by the FBI.<\/p>\n
