93.3 KWTO Keeping Watch Over the Ozarks
A judge sentenced in woman from Ash Grove Tuesday after she pleaded guilty to multiple charges earlier this year.
Carrie Long will serve three years and five months in prison on charges of wire fraud and failure to pay employment taxes.
She spent four years as an in-home accountant for two separate Springfield-based companies.
Investigators accused the 52-year-old of embezzling over $360,000 and was also accused of not paying close to $1 million in employment taxes.
Long pleaded guilty to both charges and admitted to both fraud allegations.
As well as the prison sentence, the judge also ordered her to pay back over $1.3 million in restitution.
