WACO, Texas (AP) - Prosecutors say an ex-business manager for a nonprofit Central Texas arts group must serve two years in federal prison for stealing $1.3 million from the volunteers-led organization.
Aileen Denise Snyder was sentenced Wednesday in Waco. Snyder must also repay $470,000 for what investigators say involved nearly 700 unauthorized ATM withdrawals from a Temple Civic Theatre account.
Prosecutors say Snyder, who pleaded guilty to access device fraud, spent the money gambling, traveling and paying personal bills.
