A jury found a 40-year-old Waynesboro woman guilty of embezzlement this morning in Waynesboro Circuit Court, sentencing her to more than 7 years in prison on each of three charges.
Wendy L. Sprouse was accused of embezzling more than $18,000 from a city real estate agent by signing 34 checks to herself for work the agent says she didn’t do.
Hired as a personal assistant to Kevin Sweeney, of a Sweeney Properties LLC and Re/Max Advantage, Sprouse worked nearly two years in that role, and performed an additional and disputed amount of cleaning and construction work on rental properties, before being confronted.
Judge Humes J. Franklin ordered a pre-sentencing report.
