VISTA, Calif. (AP) - A former bookkeeper accused of embezzling nearly $10 million from her company and spending some of the money on 400 pairs of shoes has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert Kearney also ordered Annette Yeomans to repay her former employer on Monday. He admonished the 51-year-old woman for her "selfish indulgence."
Yeomans was accused of stealing money from Quality Woodworks, a cabinetry business in San Marcos, and blowing the money on gambling, shopping trips and luxury items. She pleaded guilty to 10 of 108 felony charges as part of a plea deal.
