Susan Wooten-Robb, a former employee at the $2.2 billion CommunityAmerica Credit Union in Overland Park, Kan., was sentenced last week to time served and three years of supervised release for embezzlement and wire fraud.

U.S. District Judge Carolos Murguia in Kansas City, Kan., also ordered Wooten-Robb to pay restitution of $34,035, according to court records.

She pleaded guilty to the felonies in January.

The fraud was detected after two members complained about unauthorized debits from their accounts in February 2014.

An investigation revealed Wooten-Robb, whose job description was not specified in court documents, made those unauthorized debits totaling $34,035.

In one instance, she attempted to cover up an unauthorized debit by filing a false currency transaction report claiming the account holders took out the money to assist a family member with paying tuition, federal prosecutors said.
