Convicted of stealing upward of $80K from her Wauwatosa employer, a Greenfield woman's 4-year sentence is stayed in favor of 6 months in work-release jail. But that, too, is stayed after court is told no such program is available.
The former vice president of a Wauwatosa real estate company who embezzled more than $80,000 from her employer during a two-year span pleaded no contest and was sentenced Monday to four years in prison — but will not spend any time behind bars.

A 28-year-old Greenfield man has been charged with embezzling funds from his employer by using the business' computer system to create fraudulent gift cards, according to a criminal complaint.
