Hackenburg Pleads No Contest to Theft for Stealing $50K from Mifflinburg American Legion

LEWISBURG – A Milmont woman has pleaded no contest to theft by unlawful taking after law enforcement accused her of stealing more than $50,000 from American Legion Post 410 in Mifflinburg.

The individual, identified as a 56-year-old Milmont resident, entered the plea in connection with the substantial sum taken from the Mifflinburg American Legion post. The specific details surrounding the theft, including the duration over which the funds were taken or the woman's role at the post, were not immediately available.

The American Legion Post 410, a fixture in the Mifflinburg community, serves veterans and their families, and its operations are often supported by community fundraising and member contributions. The loss of such a significant amount could impact the services and programs the post provides to its members and the wider community in the Susquehanna Valley.

Further information regarding sentencing or restitution will likely become available as the legal process continues. Residents of Sunbury, nestled along the Susquehanna River, and surrounding areas with connections to the American Legion may be following this case closely due to its implications for local veteran organizations.
