RHINELANDER - Brenda Wigglesworth could face jail time for embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the Northwoods Animal Hospital in Minocqua. The 48-year-old Wigglesworth pled no contest in Oneida County Court on Friday.
Wigglesworth had worked at the veterinary clinic for 14 years. She is charged with embezzling about $30,000 as an office manager. Despite the plea, she did not admit guilt on Friday.
"She understands the elements of the crime," said Lindsay Erickson, Wigglesworth's defense attorney. "She pled no contest, not indicating that she's guilty of those elements, but indicating that she did not wish to contest the charges any further."
