KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The former controller of a Kansas company could be facing up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to embezzling more than $135,000 from his employer.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says 43-year-old Alan Wenk pleaded guilty on Monday to two counts of bank fraud. He admitted the crimes happened while he was working as regional controller and corporate accounts payable manager for Performance Contracting Group Inc. in Lenexa.

Prosecutors say Wenk caused the company to issue 20 fraudulent checks to him and business entities he controlled. PCG has 50 offices throughout the U.S.

Wenk is scheduled to be sentenced May 16. In addition to a possible prison sentence, he faces a fine of up to $1 million on each count.
