PRINCESS ANNE — A Somerset County jury on May 12 found Princess Anne’s former town manager guilty of felony theft and theft scheme after more than $100,000 in cash was diverted from bank deposits for nearly two years starting in 2018.
Deborah K. Hrusko remains free on personal recognizance and will be sentenced following the completion of a pre-sentence investigation.
The 57-year-old Salisbury resident answered “No” when asked by her attorney and public defender Arch McFadden if she took any money from the town but had no explanation when State’s Attorney Wess Garner asked why there were no cash deposits made in 2019.
She also did not remember making changes to 170 payment entries on a Sunday in September 2019 — the day before the annual audit was to begin — despite being on the clock as noted on her timesheet.
As for over $43,000 in cash deposits made into her personal bank account in 2019 that was explained as cash from her children to pay for cars and insurance, cashed checks for personal loans, and occasional winnings from Ocean Downs Casino which she said she frequented.
she is not the only one who should be charged.
who is responsible for over-seeing her
who is responsible for reviewing the books monthly
looks like several people in princess anne were not doing their jobs.
Somerset County….. say it ain’t sooo. Word on the Skreet is there are a lot of good folks that stay in the cemetery that enjoy casting a vote election time.
They really should audit the Princess Anne Fire Department and make sure they go back 20 years and check out the old timers!
What accounting firm audited the books for the town?
