A 34-year-old bookkeeper was sentenced to one year in jail for embezzling more than $180,000 from a Novato construction company, the district attorney's office said.
Kristy Lynn Gordon, a Napa resident, was also sentenced to five years of probation and restitution, said Deputy District Attorney Shawn Spaulding.
Gordon was arrested in February after her employer, Tarrant Construction Inc. of Bel Marin Keys, told police it suspected the bookkeeper of stealing company funds. Police said the embezzlement started in 1999.
Gordon pleaded guilty last month to two counts of embezzlement and one count of identity theft, Spaulding said. Gordon was sentenced Monday before Judge John Sutro.
