BURLINGTON — Vermont’s U.S. attorney’s office said a 32-year-old Sheffield woman has pleaded not guilty to charges she embezzled $315,000 from her employer.

Sanville was indicted last month by a grand jury on one count of embezzling the money from her former employer, Radiantec Company of Lyndonville.

Sanville allegedly wrote checks to herself and other people or organization’s for her benefit.

The indictment seeks forfeiture of Sanville’s home and other property.

She was released on conditions. Her trial has not been scheduled.

If convicted, Sanville could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
