KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) A 47-year-old Kalispell woman who pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $227,000 from two companies she did bookkeeping work for has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison.

Prosecutors say Judy Hammack, who pleaded guilty in July to bank fraud, took more than $157,000 from a masonry company and more than $70,000 from a construction company between 2004 and 2008.

She has been ordered to repay the money and will be supervised for five years after she is released from prison.
