Former Arts Manager Sentenced to Prison | Fresno News
Description
A former Fresno Arts Council operations manager is heading to federal prison for stealing $1.8 million over four years, wiring funds to herself and falsifying records to cover it up. The judge called it a betrayal of trust, especially since victims were artists relying on those funds. Her attorney blamed addiction and gambling, but the court dismissed claims that better controls could’ve prevented it. While some money has been returned via PayPal, the city hasn’t seen a dime yet. A restitution hearing looms, and she’s due to surrender in October—currently free but unsupervised. The arts community is left reeling, angry and wary.
