BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A Red Lodge woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1.4 million from a wildfire suppression company where she worked.

April Drake Greer pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Billings to four counts of wire fraud for transferring money from the Wildfire Defense Systems Inc. account into her bank account.

Greer was employed as director of human resources and controller for the Red Lodge company from 2010 until June 2017.
