Former Central Texas Bank Employee Charged In $6 Million Theft

WHITNEY (February 19, 2013)-A former employee of the Whitney 1st National Bank has been summoned to federal court next week to answer a charge of embezzlement of more than $6 million from the bank.

She has not yet been arrested, but Mary Helen (Murty) Lane is charged with embezzlement from a federally insured financial institution of more than $1,000.

<<<snip>>>

Lane was employed by the bank for 27 years and she resigned her position as vice president in January 2012.

The charging documents says Lane used most of the cash to finance gambling trips to Las Vegas, Nevada and Shreveport, Louisiana.
