A former supervisor with a bank in McAllen is facing criminal charges after a federal grand jury indicted her in a debit card embezzlement scam.
FBI agents arrested First National Bank (FNB) supervisor Lisa Rodriguez at her La Blanca home on Tuesday morning.
The 41-year-old woman is facing a federal indictment for three counts of embezzlement by a bank employee.
Prosecutors said Rodriguez oversaw the FNB's electronic banking department and received debit cards that were mailed out but returned to the bank as undeliverable.
The indictment alleges that Rodriguez took the undeliverable cards and went on shopping sprees using the PIN numbers charging at least $37,000 dollars in McAllen, Edinburg and San Antonio.
Rodriguez appared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos on Tuesday where she was released on bond.
If convicted, Rodriguez could face up to 30 years in federal prison without parole and a $1,000,000 fine for each count.
