A McAllen woman has pleaded guilty to making fraudulent entries in bank records to conceal the theft of more than a million dollars over a decade, officials said.

Jill Marie Myers, 42, pleaded guilty to falsifying bank records, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson of the Southern District of Texas announced Tuesday.

Myers was a teller supervisor at the Edinburg branch of First National Bank. She was responsible for verifying and recording in a ledger the amount of U.S. currency in the bank's cash vaults, officials said.

From about June 2004 until June 2014, about $10,000 a month began to disappear from the vault. Myers admitted to creating the fake entries to conceal the $1.25 million taken from the vault, officials said.
