A former bank employee accused of embezzlement and aggravated identity theft has been sentenced to two years in federal prison in New Mexico.
Prosecutors say 38-year-old Angela Giddings, of Albuquerque, also was ordered Thursday to pay more than $217,000 in restitution to Bank of the West.
Giddings was indicted in December 2014 on 16 counts of embezzlement and four counts of aggravated identity theft.
Prosecutors say Giddings was employed as a customer service manager for Bank of the West at the time of the offenses, which occurred between Feb. 2, 2013 and July 18, 2014.
She was accused of withdrawing and transferring funds from bank customers' accounts without authorization and for her own use, ranging from $15,000 to $60,000.
Giddings pleaded guilty to embezzlement in February.
