ST. LOUIS - U.S. District Judge John A. Ross on Thursday sentenced a man from St. Louis, Missouri to a year and a day in prison and ordered him to repay $100,485 to his former employer and an insurance company.
While working as a sales engineer at a St. Louis County company, Stephen Patrick Higgins, now 32, misused his company credit card for personal purposes on multiple occasions.
Higgins pleaded guilty in July to one count of wire fraud.
The U.S. Secret Service and the Chesterfield police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Roy prosecuted the case.
