YORK, Penn.–The former CEO of HD York Credit Union has been charged with embezzling more than $252,000 from the credit union, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office here.
Sherry A. Garner, 53, has been charged with embezzling the funds from the credit union between 2010 and 2013. In addition, Garner has been charged with failing to report $70,983 in stolen income on her federal income tax return for 2011—evading nearly $20,000 in federal income taxes, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
In 2014 HD York Credit Union, which served employees at a Harley-Davidson plant, merged into the $66-million White Rose Credit Union. Garner was eventually fired due to the embezzlement, the U.S. Attorney said.
Garner remains free and is being represented by a public defender. An initial court appearance has yet to be scheduled.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Garner has agreed to make restitution to the credit union and the Internal Revenue Service after pleading guilty to two counts of bank larceny and income tax evasion.
