A man  accused of stealing nearly a half a million dollars from Bass Pro Shops in Springfield has pleaded guilty to embezzlement charges.

Prosecutors say Eugene Black sold figurines and carved crafts as a contract vendor.

His inflated sales reports gave him a larger share in the profits.

He has been sentenced to ten years in prison with the possibility for parole.
