Woman pleads guilty to Good Sam embezzlement, ordered to pay back $345K

[TexasTowelie]

DENTON -- Lisa McMaster, who was indicted on a charge of felony theft for allegedly taking more than $300,000 from Good Samaritan Denton Village, pleaded guilty to her charge Friday in court.

But she will avoid any prison time, which could have ranged from five to 99 years, for the first-degree felony. Instead, her defense was successful in asking that she be given probation and be allowed to pay back the money, which totaled about $345,000.

“I think Good Samaritan would be better off getting their money back,” McMaster said while answering questions from a prosecutor.

She was sentenced to 10 years of probation and will have to pay back $345,303.51 to the nonprofit retirement community. Denton County District Court Judge Steve Burgess approved the agreement.

What makes this article interesting is this paragraph:

McMaster also stole about $28,000 from another employer around 2010, according to testimony on Friday. McMaster, answering questions, said she did not pay back the full amount stolen in that case, handled in Collin County.
