NORWICH – The last of two codefendants pleaded guilty in Chenango County Court Monday after the former NBT Bank employees admitted their roles in the theft of $77,797.50, while working for the company.

Tabitha M. Eccleston, 26, of Sherburne told Judge W. Howard Sullivan she was aware her co-worker at the time was stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the bank while accepting about $10,200 of that between January 2008 and March 2009.

She pleaded guilty to fifth degree criminal possession of a stolen property, a misdemeanor. She was ordered to repay the stolen amount and will serve three years probation in the plea arrangement with prosecutors.

District Attorney Joseph McBride said Eccleston was guilty of accepting money from the thefts, but was not convicted of stealing the money directly.
