BEND, Ore. (AP) - A Bend woman was sentenced to four years in prison for embezzling $430,000 from her employer.

The Bend Bulletin reports (https://bit.ly/2e2hYCt ) that Cheryl Waldron pleaded guilty in August to stealing from Robinson and Owen Heavy Construction, of Sisters.

As part of a plea deal, Waldron was to pay $200,000 in restitution before this week’s sentencing hearing, and the state would recommend a two-year prison term.

Waldron was to sign over her property to the victim to cover the restitution, but due to liens on the property, the property was valued at around $100,000.

The state argued this was a violation of the plea agreement and Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Bagley agreed.

Bagley sentenced Waldron to four years in prison and ordered her to pay $258,000 in restitution.
