Former credit union manager Debra C. Pyfrom pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Paducah, Ky. for embezzling more than $600,000 from the $6.3 million International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 816 Federal Credit Union, according to federal prosecutors.
In June 2014, she admitted to Kentucky police detectives and NCUA auditors that she stole more than $100,000 over two years. At the time of her arrest and initial theft charges in July, an audit of the credit union's finances was under way.
However, it wasn't until a year later in May 2015 when federal prosecutors finally filed an indictment against Pyfrom that accused her of stealing more than $600,000. The theft occurred between February 2006 and July 2014.
