A Scottsville woman was sentenced to federal prison on Thursday for engaging in a scheme to defraud her former employer.
Reda W. Tabor, 67, was sentenced to 2 years in federal prison, followed by 2 years of supervised released. The sentencing comes after she was charged with one count of wire fraud, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tabor used her position as Vice President in Charge of Finance/Accounting and Human Resources at Beneke Wire Company in Louisville.
She accessed the company’s bank accounts and made unauthorized transfers of company funds to her personal bank account.
Tabor was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $873,107 in addition to a $10,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett of the Western District of Kentucky and Special Agent in Charge Michael E. Stansbury of the FBI Louisville Field Office made the announcement. The case was investigated by the FBI, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Gregory.
There is no parole in the federal system.
