\"criminal_justice_jurisprudence<\/a>CAMDEN, NJ<\/strong>\u2014A former branch manager for Newfield National Bank in Franklinville,<\/strong>\u00a0was sentenced \u00a0Monday to 30 months in prison for embezzling $263,864 from the bank, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.<\/p>\n

Season Wengert<\/strong>, 32, of Franklinville, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Robert B. Kugler to an information charging her with one count of bank embezzlement<\/p>\n

. Judge Kugler also ordered that she pay restitution of $261,654.<\/p>\n

According to the evidence surrounding the facts and circumstances of this case, these are the allegations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wengert worked as the bank manager at the Franklinville Branch of the Newfield National Bank.<\/p>\n

From Sept. 4, 2007, through Jan. 7, 2013, Wengert embezzled funds by fraudulently conducting online computer transfers of money from 38 accounts belonging to 23 customers into accounts owned by her or her husband.<\/p>\n

She also withdrew money from customers\u2019 accounts and deposited it into her accounts.<\/p>\n

As branch manager, Wengert was able to conceal her embezzlement by failing to note the fraudulent withdrawals in the customers\u2019 passbooks and by transferring money through various customers\u2019 accounts to cover shortages.<\/p>\n

When customers sought to withdraw money from an account which had been embezzled, Wengert would then transfer money from another victim\u2019s account to cover the withdrawal and conceal her fraudulent conduct.<\/p>\n

Wengert stole $263,864 for her own use.<\/p>\n
