Former Granger Motors office manager Ralph Schippers was sentenced in federal court Thursday for embezzlement and wire fraud.

Last year, the 58 year-old admitted to embezzling over $1.4 million from Granger Motors.  He will spend the next 41 months in a federal prison.  Schippers was also ordered to pay the full $1,433,825 back in restitution and will serve three years of supervised released after his time behind bars.

He wired the money into his personal bank account over a 14 year period.  According to authorities, Schippers used the money to buy international airline tickets, hotel accommodations, meals, recreation items and jewelry.
