December 11, 2020 - 3:40 PM A Penticton woman will not serve any jail time and has been ordered to pay back the more than $62,000 she stole from the band after she pleaded guilty to forgery, fraud and falsifying documents. Band member Marnie Leslie Kruger, born in 1967, pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of forgery, destroying or altering a book to defraud and fraud. Judge Monica McParland delivered her sentence to an empty courtroom in Kelowna yesterday, Dec. 10, speaking to Crown counsel Garry Hansen, defence lawyer Norm Yates and Kruger through video conference from the Penticton courthouse. Kruger’s charges stemmed from a period between Sept. 1, 2016 to July 1, 2017, when Kruger worked in the accounting department of the Penticton Indian Band’s SFLP forestry company. Police were called on July 6, 2017 when a company executive discovered evidence of fraud.
