BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A longtime employee of a North Dakota credit union is accused of stealing about $130,000 from the organization.

Georgia Schwartz, of Glen Ullin, is charged in federal court with embezzlement and misapplication from a credit union, and false entries.

She has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say the money was taken over a 24-year period from the Glen Ullin Credit Union, now known as the Western Cooperative Credit Union.

Schwartz allegedly kept two sets of records to conceal the crime.

A spokesman for the federal public defender's office had no comment.

Trial is scheduled Sept. 11 in Bismarck.
