"MORGAN HILL - A 62-year-old Gilroy woman was sentenced Thursday to one year in Santa Clara County jail for committing elder fraud by embezzling more than $100,000 from her employer, a century-old family-owned winery, prosecutors said. Stacey Greenlee worked as an administrative assistant for the owner of Guglielmo Winery from October 2022 to March 2024, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office."
"An investigation by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office revealed Greenlee made frequent trips to Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, where she spent more than $63,000, prosecutors said. Greenlee hid the scheme from her employer by concealing bank statements, despite several requests for them from the winery's accountant, and changing the email address associated with the bank account, according to the district attorney's office."
