Former Head Of Teacher Union In Arlington, Virginia Arrested After Embezzling Over $400,000

[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A former Virginia teachers’ union president was arrested on Monday for pilfering more than $400,000 from her organization.

Ingrid Gant, who led the Arlington Education Association for six years, was charged with four counts of embezzlement following a six-month investigation, the Fairfax County Police Department announced in a press release. An independent auditor who worked with police found that Gant awarded herself many bonuses and improperly made charges to her organization’s debit cards.

Gant is the second teachers’ union head to face charges for abuse of funds just this month. In a strikingly similar case, a former teachers’ union treasurer in Reading, Pa., was charged on Jan. 6 for embezzling more than $400,000 since 2016, the Reading Eagle reported. The treasurer resigned in September when confronted with the improper expenditures.

June Prakash, the president of the Arlington Education Association, declined to comment. Her organization says it “is pursuing all legal channels to recoup any lost funds and hold those responsible accountable.”

#3  She should have fled to Loudon County. The DA there would have refused to extradite her.

#2  So I guess she didn't have any NEA protection insurance to avoid arrest.

Note: Under her own name, she only donated $50, $350 and $300 to VA and/or the National Education Assn.

Lesson Learned.
When embezzling large amount of $$$$$$, be sure to donate to an major LSD's SIG for Arrest Insurance.
