Former Casino Workers Plead Guilty To Theft

GREAT FALLS, Montana -- Two Wolf Point women have pleaded guilty to federal charges in the skimming of more than $30,000 from the Silverwolf Casino in 2001.

Former casino bookkeeper Jacqueline M. Moran, 42, pleaded guilty Wednesday to employee theft from an Indian gaming establishment. Prosecutors say Moran padded her timecards or overpaid herself for time worked. They say she also abused vacation pay and took money from the casino's bingo proceeds. The casino is owned by the Assiniboine-Sioux tribe.

Moran has denied all allegations except for the theft of portions of casino checks that she cashed without authorization.

Former maintenance supervisor Lucy A. McGeshick, 47, also pleaded guilty to employee theft. McGeshick said she knew about Moran's embezzlement and accepted up to $4,000 from her.

Moran's sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 30, while McGeschick's is set for Jan. 3.
