Former Fire Chief Sentenced for Embezzlement | Anchorage News

A former Alaska fire chief is facing serious consequences after embezzling over $440,000 from his own volunteer department—stealing funds over four years while letting insurance lapse and endangering public safety. Sentenced to three years, he’ll serve two with one suspended, plus ten years probation and full repayment. This isn’t his first brush with the law—he was convicted for embezzlement in ’96. His defense argued for leniency due to health issues and partial repayment, but prosecutors slammed him for greed and negligence. Now behind bars in Fairbanks, his case is a stark warning about accountability when public trust and safety are at stake.
