WILKES-BARRE — Authorities say a northeastern Pennsylvania woman who claims she is addicted to bingo embezzled at least $100,000 from an organization that helps the disabled.
Fifty-eight-year-old Anne Patricia Hudanick of Wilkes-Barre is the former bookkeeper for Creating Unlimited Possibilities. Authorities say she confessed to stealing up to $120,000 over 10 years to feed a bingo addiction.
Hudanick was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of theft by unlawful taking and released on bail. She declined comment following the hearing.
Creating Unlimited Possibilities was formerly called United Cerebral Palsy of Luzerne County. The group helps adults with mental and physical disabilities.
A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 30.
