COURTHOUSE, Penn. – The former president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 FCU was charged with embezzling more than $35,000 by, among other things, paying herself unauthorized raises.
Anne Clyburn, 42, was arrested in June on counts of theft, receiving stolen property and related cover-up charges.
Clyburn is charged with unauthorized raises she allegedly gave herself during the approximately six-and-a-half years she headed the $8 million credit union, unauthorized checks she allegedly wrote for personal expenses and unauthorized expenses she allegedly rang up on the credit union's charge card.
One of those credit card expenses was a $179 speeding ticket she received in Philadelphia.
She was using the credit union money as if it were her own, said District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.
