On June 12, Dianna Woodall was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to three years of supervised probation and 100 hours of community service for participating in a scheme to cash a $9,836 counterfeit check drawn on a bank account of Marine Engineers Beneficial Association (MEBA) District 1, based in Washington, D.C. She also was ordered to pay full restitution. Woodall had pleaded guilty in March after being charged earlier than month. Another individual, Kenneth Marshall Jr., also had pleaded guilty in March to cashing two counterfeit checks totaling $18,851 drawn on that MEBA account. A union spokesman informed NLPC at the time that neither was a union member. The sentencing of Woodall follows a joint probe by the FBI and the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards and Office of Inspector General.
