A federal judge in Birmingham has sentenced a former Allstate Insurance Company employee to 12 months in prison for multiple counts of mail fraud. U.S. District Judge Inge Johnson sentenced 34-year-old Monica Marshall of Brighton Thursday. Marshall pleaded guilty to 11 counts of mail fraud.

Prosecutors said she admitted arranging to send more than $43,000 in reimbursement checks to three individuals who then paid her a kickback. Three others involved in the fraud pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy charges. Marshall, who must report to prison in Aug., was ordered to repay the money to Allstate.

Does anyone know if she was a company “hero”?
