A former Mandeville accountant has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $170,000 from an oilfield consulting business and defrauding a hair salon on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain out of at least $40,000.

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office says 54-year-old Anthony Tulli also pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge he failed to submit more than $800,000 in federal taxes to the IRS for a scrap metal company also based on the north shore.

Tulli is in federal custody while he awaits a sentencing hearing set for March 7.

The state Board of Certified Public Accountants revoked his CPA certificate last year.
