A bookkeeper from Kansas has admitted writing herself hundreds of thousands of dollars in bogus checks.

Dorothy Kay Lean, 56, of Tonganoxie, Kansas entered no contest pleas to five counts of felony theft Wednesday morning in Leavenworth District Court.

The charges arose out of her employment as the bookkeeper for McGraw Fertilizer in Tonganoxie.

Prosecutors say the woman wrote herself paychecks and other checks without the authority of the owners of the company for the time period January 1, 2011 through July 16, 2015. The amounts for those checks exceeded her salary from the company. A sentencing date was set for September 1st. At that time, the parties will present evidence of how much restitution Lean will have to pay to the company.

Assistant County Attorney Michael Jones says the parties believe it will be between $110,000 and $300,000.
