A Harpswell woman charged with stealing at least $80,000 from the Ramada Inn in Lewiston — and who is wanted for allegedly embezzling nearly $200,000 from a youth football league and another business in California — has pleaded guilty to the Maine felony and will be sentenced Nov. 27.
Carrie Richardson, 38, pleaded guilty to felony theft by unauthorized taking in Androscoggin County Superior Court, Androscoggin County Deputy District Attorney Andrew Robinson said Wednesday. Robinson said he will seek a threeyear jail sentence.
Richardson was arrested in July at her Harpswell home and charged with stealing at least $ 80,000 from the Ramada Inn in Lewiston, where she worked as a bookkeeper between January 2012 and January 2013.
The theft was discovered during an annual audit.
Richardson is also wanted on warrants from California after allegedly embezzling from a youth football league and business in that state.
Richardson — also known as Carrie Marie Miranda — is suspected of embezzling up to $100,000 from Escondido Pop Warner Football, for which she served as treasurer, and $45,000 from North County Yamaha in San Marcos, Calif., where she formerly worked.
