On May 4, Shelly Sutton, former treasurer for American Federation of Government Employees Local 477, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to three months in prison and three months of supervised release for one count of bank fraud. She also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $78,778. Sutton had pleaded guilty in February to stealing $93,094 from the Wichita-based union, which represents employees at the local VA hospital, after being indicted last November. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
