Acting U.S. Attorney Steven W. Myhre, for the District of Nevada, says that a Reno woman, who was sentenced for bank embezzlement and tax evasion, was indicted on Wednesday for failing to report to the Bureau of Prisons to serve her prison term.
Officials say 51-year-old Jennifer Ree Campbell was charged with one count of failure to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons, FCI Dublin, in Dublin, CA. Campbell was found guilty on February 6 of theft, embezzlement, and misapplication by a bank employee and attempt to evade income tax. Campbell failed to report for her order to self-surrender by May 8 to serve her sentence of 30 months in prison.
If she is convicted, the maximum penalty is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine which would be served consecutively after her original sentence.
The U.S. Marshals Service is investigating the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Carla B. Higginbotham is prosecuting the case.
