Kalispell gun maker employee stole $159,000, went to Vegas
A former bookkeeper for a Kalispell firearms manufacturer admitted stealing $159,000 from her then-employer in a check scheme, spending the money in part on hotel stays in Las Vegas and Quinn’s Hot Springs.
Teri Anne Bell, 58, of Columbia Falls pleaded guilty in the U.S. District court in Missoula on Tuesday to wire fraud. She faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release, according to the Montana U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The government said Bell used pre-signed checks to steal from her employer from 2018 to 2021 while working as a finance manager for the firearm manufacturing and distribution company Falkor SID Inc.
