A former Home Depot employee has been sentenced to federal prison for stealing personally identifying information from fellow Home Depot employees, the U.S. attorney in Atlanta announced Thursday.
Paulette Shorter, 32, was sentenced to two years and a day for stealing information from fellow employees and job applicants and using it to apply for credit cards, said U.S. Attorney John Horn. Shorter, who had access to the information because she worked in the human resources department at Home Depot’s corporate headquarters in Atlanta, pleaded guilty to fraud and trafficking in counterfeit instruments in July. Shorter’s attorney, Sandra Michaels of Martin Brothers, could not be reached for comment.
