Indiana Woman Gets Prison for Credit Union Theft

(Sunman, Indiana) A 62-year-old credit counselor at Cinfed Credit Union, Sandra Sicking, has been accused of stealing more than $300,000 from clients.

Sicking was convicted and sentenced to one year in prison.

Sicking’s clients, many of whom were elderly, would deposit money with Cinfed Credit Union, allowing Sicking to budget their money. Sicking would give her clients a small spending allowance each week to go towards living expenses.

Sicking has been ordered to pay back the money she stole, but many of her clients may not ever see their money again because it is hard to know exactly how much she stole from each client, prosecutors said.

Sicking had a previous conviction for theft and received probation.
