Gulf Shores insurance agency bookkeeper pleads guilty to misappropriating premiums - al.com

Gulf Shores insurance agency bookkeeper pleads guilty to misappropriating premiums - al.com: "MOBILE, Ala. -- A former Gulf Shores insurance company bookkeeper accused of bilking homeowners out of tens of thousands of dollars pleaded guilty today to a federal criminal charge.

The plea bargain gives Benton Gray Harvey a chance for a lighter sentence by cooperating with federal law enforcement investigators. The nature of that cooperation is unclear. In fact, Chief U.S. District Judge Ginny Granade granted a prosecutor's request to withhold from the public a document that details Harvey's own criminal activity."
