PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (AP) The former manager of Princess Anne, a town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, has been found guilty of stealing from the community.
After a two-day trial this week, jurors found Deborah Hrusko guilty of theft of more than $100,000 and involvement in a theft scheme of more than $100,000, The Daily Times of Salisbury reported.
According to the Somerset County State’s Attorney’s Office, an investigation began in January 2020 into cash missing from an envelope at the Princess Anne town hall.
That inquiry led to the discovery that no cash had been deposited into the town’s account in December 2019, the newspaper reported. The investigation determined Hrusko, who was charged last year, had been responsible for the deposits at the time.
