On November 28, Dennis and Dorian Nicely, respectively, former vice president and former business agent for International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 264, were sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to 10 months in prison, to be followed by 180 days of home detention and three years of probation, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and embezzlement from the Hampton, Va.-based union. The husband-and-wife couple also were ordered to pay the remaining $53,704 in restitution from the $57,310 stolen. Each had pleaded guilty in July after being charged in June. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards and Office of Inspector General.
