BRIDGEPORT -- The former supervisor at a Fairfield bank was sentenced Friday to two and one-half years in prison for stealing nearly $40,000 from the bank.
Jaye Sanders, 40, of Laurel Court, pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree larceny and was sentenced by Superior Court George Thim to eight years, suspended after he serves two and one-half years in prison, followed by five years probation.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Robert Brennan had recommended the judge sentence Sanders to a three-year prison term.
Sanders, the teller supervisor at the Webster Bank, 1177 Post Road, Fairfield, was accused of stealing $37,535 from the bank dating back to August 2007, according to the prosecutor.
Brennan said Sanders stole money from two teller drawers and a cash shipment.
