The former comptroller of Dixon, Illinois, has been released from prison less than halfway through her sentence for stealing nearly $54 million from the city.
Rita Crundwell, 68, was released Wednesday from the Federal Corrections Institution in Pekin, Illinois, the city of Dixon posted on Facebook.
Authorities say Crundwell bought luxury homes and vehicles, and spent millions on her horse-breeding operation, RC Quarter Horses LLC, which produced 52 world champions in exhibitions run by the American Quarter Horse Association. Prosecutors at the time said the scheme unraveled only after a co-worker filling in for her while she was on an extended vacation stumbled upon the secret bank account.
Earlier this year, Crundwell petitioned a federal judge for an early release from prison over fears of contracting COVID-19.
