Former Kendall Bank Manager Sentenced to Over 1 ½ Years for Embezzlement

MADISON, WIS. - Chadwick M. Elgersma, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Sandra Campfield, 68, Kendall, Wisconsin, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 21 months in federal prison and a $50,000 fine for embezzling money by a bank employee. The prison term will be followed by 2 years of supervised release. As part of her sentence, Campfield was ordered to pay $395,103.67 in restitution to the victims of her embezzlement. Campfield pleaded guilty to this charge on February 18, 2026.

Campfield previously worked as the long-time branch manager of a bank in Elroy, Wisconsin. Between September 2012 and August 2024, she used her position at the bank to steal approximately $351,344 from customer accounts. Campfield also took approximately $43,758 worth of foreign currency from the bank's vault.

At Campfield's sentencing, Judge Conley expressed concern over the length and depth of Campfield's embezzlement scheme and her use of "sophisticated methods" to conceal the fraud. Judge Conley also found it aggravated that Campfield abused her management position to execute her embezzlement.

The charge against Campfield was the result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Juneau County Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney William M. Levins prosecuted the case.
