A Braxton County woman who embezzled about $26,000 from a postal workers union has been sentenced to five years probation. Pamela Hinzman,58, of Frametown, was sentenced to five years probation and a $100 special assessment in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. Hinzman was charged in January by a federal grand jury for embezzlement from the American Postal Workers, AFL-CIO Local 1850 in Parkersburg. The indictment alleges the woman embezzled approximately $26,000, securities, property and other assets of the labor organization for her own use.
