ALABAMA<\/strong> — A former bank teller who used her position to open banks accounts in other people’s names to receive electronic fraudulent tax refunds was sentenced to a year and nine months behind bars, federal prosecutors said today.<\/span><\/p>\n

LaQuanta Clayton,<\/strong> a resident of Montgomery County, Ala., and a former bank teller employed by the Community Bank and Trust, was sentenced Wednesday after she pleaded guilty last year to theft of government property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarrish Tellis<\/strong>, the leader of the tax-fraud ring, told Clayton to open multiple bank accounts in order to receive electronic deposits of fraudulent tax refunds.<\/span><\/p>\n

About $452,225 in fraudulent tax refunds were directed to be deposited, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The IRS paid about $185,730 in fraudulent refunds, which were deposited into accounts Clayton opened and controlled.<\/p>\n

Clayton was also ordered to pay restitution in this amount.<\/span><\/p>\n
