Former Ferrisburgh Jolley / Stewart’s Shops Employee Convicted of Embezzlement

The Attorney General's Office today announced that Laura Brewer, 42, of Charlotte, Vermont, was sentenced in Vermont Superior Court, Addison Criminal Division, after pleading guilty to one felony count of embezzlement.

The Court, Judge Alison Arms presiding, imposed a six-year deferred sentence which requires Ms. Brewer to repay the embezzled funds, totaling $8,763. Additionally, Ms. Brewer must stay in regular contact with a probation officer, complete 50 hours of community service, and must not go to the Stewart's Shops location.

If Ms. Brewer fails to abide by the conditions of her probation, the Court will revisit the terms of the deferred sentence.
