A former bank manager and city council member in Northern Kentucky, Reagan France, has pleaded guilty to stealing over $335,000 from customer accounts and local nonprofits she volunteered with — using forged slips, stolen logins, and even cash withdrawals. She worked at Home Savings Bank since 2015, allegedly siphoning funds between 2022 and 2024, and now faces a mandatory two-year identity theft sentence on top of her potential prison time. Despite winning her council seat by just one vote, she’s agreed to repay at least $250,000 — though some money’s already been recovered.
