by | Jun 18, 2011

The Associated Press is reporting that former Roadrunner Records payroll manager, Sharanda Houser, embezzled about $421,000 at the label.

Houser pleaded not guilty to grand larceny and falsifying business records on Friday, and is being held on $25,000 bail.

The Manhattan district attorney says that Houser stole from the label for nearly six years before being fired last year for reasons unrelated.

Prosecutors say she submitted bogus expenses in executives’ names and had the reimbursements wired to her.
