MINDEN (AP) - A 60-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $100,000 from her former employer in Douglas County.

Sandra Kay Hunter awaits sentencing Oct. 19 after entering the plea Tuesday in district court.

In a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend that Hunter spend a year in jail and pay $99,359 in restitution.

The former Carson City resident was accused of stealing the money from April 2008 to December 2009 from Property Management & Mainten-ance, a Minden company that manages rental properties. She worked at the front desk and collected rent money.

The company hired an accountant who found a total of $99,359 missing.

A search of Hunter's criminal record shows a previous conviction for embezzling $44,000 from a title company.
