The sentencing of a former Hollidaysburg firefighter charged with embezzling more than $1.5 million in federal grant funds has been postponed until August.
Benjamin Allen Rhine, 49, was scheduled to appear before Gibson on May 17 for sentencing on one count of conversion of government funds and additional counts of filing false income tax returns.
Rhine requested continuances of his sentencing hearing because he wants to appear in person before the judge, but the federal court in Johnstown, like courts throughout Pennsylvania, has been conducting business through video conference using the Zoom platform due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Rhine entered his guilty pleas Sept. 25, and sentencing was initially set for Feb. 2.
