Bank manager sentenced

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Liberty, Mo., woman was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for bank fraud, authorities said Friday.

Barbara Frazier, 38, also was ordered to pay about $117,000 in restitution to Bank of America, U.S. Attorney Todd Graves said.

Frazier diverted bank money to her own use in a scheme that used more than 20 bank customers' accounts from January 1995 through December 2000, Graves said.

She created false documents that made it appear that she was crediting or refunding customers' accounts for bank fees previously charged in error.

She then used those credits to buy money orders from the bank that she put her own name on, Graves said.
