On August 5, Michael Curry, former secretary-treasurer of Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Lodge 1127, a division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas to three years of supervised probation and ordered to pay $6,996.55 in restitution for embezzling funds from the Texarkana, Ark.-based union. He had pleaded guilty in April. The guilty plea and sentencing follow a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
