The former controller for the Hard Rock Lake Tahoe at Stateline was ordered to spend the next 30 weekends in jail as a condition of his probation on a felony embezzlement charge.
Robert Merrald Schrader, 55, was ordered to repay $71,832.60 and received a suspended 12-30 month prison sentence on Monday.
Prosecutor Patrick Ferguson argued that Schrader should go to prison for the crime, saying that the thefts occurred over the course of a year, during which Schrader tried to cover his tracks.
Ferguson said Schrader charged nearly $47,000 on someone else’s corporate credit card.
Attorney Kris Brown said Schrader, a Reno resident, had a gambling addiction.
