MANCHESTER, N.H.–A federal judge has sentenced an Arkansas woman to three years in prison for stealing more than $300,000 from elderly members of a credit union here.

Tyra Brown, 27, of Benton, Ark. Pleased guilty to one count of wire fraud in January. Now, U.S. District Court Judge Brian Miller has sentenced Brown to 36 months of prison time and three years of supervised release.

The credit union was not identified by prosecutors.

According to prosecutors, Brown was a member service representative at the credit union.

“(Brown) deliberately abused her position of trust and chose to target elderly account holders, knowing some of whom were unfamiliar with electronic banking,” acting U.S. Attorney Jay McCormack said in a statement.

More Than $300,000 Taken

The U.S. attorney said Brown had access to members’ personal information, security questions and answers and account balances, but that access was only for business purposes such as answering questions while talking to members over the phone.

However, according to prosecutors, Brown was able to take $301,674.89 total from at least 10 elderly victims and attempted to steal $428,526.85. Court documents indicate Brown used wires, electronic debits and Zelle to transfer the victims’ money to other accounts.
