A Connecticut woman is avoiding a lengthy prison sentence for stealing more than a-quarter-million-dollars from her employer.
Angela Craig of Windsor pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in U.S. District Court on Thursday.
Prosecutors say Craig, who worked for Mainline Industries and Allen Street Realty in Springfield, forged the signature of her late boss, Carlo Rovelli of West Springfield, on business checks and deposited them into her personal bank account between 2012 and 2014.
The terms of the agreement will allow Craig to avoid nearly two decades in prison and instead she will face just 21 months when she's sentenced in June.
