During a sentencing hearing at Coos Superior Court, Tina Fournier, 48, who, while working as an accountant, embezzled nearly $350,000 during a period of five years from Brooks Chevrolet and Noyes Chevrolet through credit card fraud and unauthorized transfers  was given 3 1/2 to 7 years in New Hampshire State Prison, which was the sentence recommended by Coos County prosecutors.
