LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A Lincoln woman is going to prison for stealing thousands of dollars from her employer in nearby Denton.

Amy Spencer, 39, was sentenced Thursday to two years. She’d pleaded no contest to theft by deception and to income tax evasion, according to Lancaster County District Court records.

After Spencer quit her office manager job at Midcon Underground Construction in November 2018, an accountant was hired to review the company books. Court documents say the review showed Spencer had used a company credit card to make more than 1,000 purchases for her own benefit.

A sheriff’s investigator says in the records that Spencer acknowledged making personal purchases with the company card.
