Former credit union teller sentenced to 3 years for embezzling nearly $1.5 million

SIOUX CITY — A Denison woman, who embezzled nearly $1.5 million from the Consumer Credit Union, was sentenced Friday to three years in federal prison.

Brenda Jensen, 53, previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to credit union embezzlement.

The embezzlement caused the credit union in Denison to become insolvent, forcing its merger with the SAC Federal Credit Union.

In a plea agreement, Jensen admitted she embezzled the money while working as the credit union’s head teller from May 2012 to March 2018.

Jensen and at least one other employee — Jensen’s sister, Janine Keim — embezzled nearly $1.5 million during those dates, according to court documents.
