GOODING, Idaho — A Jerome woman has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for stealing more than $660,000 from a southern Idaho dairy.

The Times-News reports 35-year-old Stephanie Wells will be eligible for parole after three years.

Prosecutors said Wells was working as Box Canyon Dairy's chief financial officer and accountant when she used company checks to pay credit card bills and falsified payments for a loan she had with the company.
