(KAIR)-- former employee of the Sac and Fox Casino pleads guilty to embezzlement.
That happened Wednesday in Federal Court, when 32-year-old Donald Collins pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement and theft from an Indian tribal organization.
According to the office of U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom, the Wetmore resident admitted in his plea that the crime took place while he worked as a Player's Club Representative for the casino, which is owned by the Sac and Fox Nation of Kansas and Nebraska.
The U.S. Attorney's office says Collins made counterfeit player cards and placed unearned free play on player cards belonging to his friends. Authorities say Collins and others then used those cards to play in the casino, with the value, along with winnings that were generated, causing the casino to lose more than $30,000.
Sentencing is set for July 7th.
Collins faces up to five years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
