December 1, 2014 (San Diego)--The Indian Human Resource Center’s former executive director, David Hedley from San Diego, has been convicted of stealing funds from the federal agency. Hedley was sentenced to spend five months in prison and to pay back $141,260 that he stole.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Hedley spent some of that money gambling at local casinos while serving as director in 2012.

Hedley, who has a wife and infant daughter, also had a drinking problem, according to court papers filed by his attorney. 

The money he stole was intended to help fulfill the Indian Human Resource Center’s mission to provide job training and help for Native Americans seeking employment outside of tribal reservations.
