PANAMA CITY — A former president of a labor union representing workers at Naval Support Activity Panama City has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for wire fraud.
Danny L. Hubbard, 49, was convicted of stealing about $91,600 from the American Federation of Government Employees Local 1380 in Panama City. From late 2006 to 2008, he wrote checks to himself that he cashed at a local convenience store and Boomtown Casino in Biloxi, Miss. He also withdrew $6,650 from the union’s checking account.
Hubbard, who pleaded guilty to 24 charges of wire fraud in the case, has been ordered to repay the money he took. He also was sentenced to serve a 3-year term of supervised release and must pay $2,400 in special monetary assessments.
Each count of wire fraud against Hubbard carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He was indicted last November.
