On April 11, Susan Haugen, former treasurer of the South Dakota chapter of the American Postal Workers of America, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota to one year of probation and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment for embezzling $30,782 in funds from the Huron, S.D. association. She had pleaded guilty this February after being indicted on three counts in November 2014 for theft of more than $36,000. Haugen previously paid restitution in the amount of $38,234. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
