Ex-Treasurer Antoinette Hodge Charged with Theft, Loses Reelection Bid
Public Treasurer of Pennsylvania Found Guilty, Squandered Public Resources through Gambling
Hey there! Let's talk about Antoinette Hodge, a former Uniontown official.
This 54-year-old lady was indicted way back in 2022, but that didn't stop her from running for reelection in 2023. Unfortunately for her, she bit the dust in the Democratic primary.
But that's not all. Hodge has been charged with a hefty robbery - over $112,000 - from none other than the Youghiogheny Western Baptist Association (YWBA). She held the position of treasurer during her term with the YWBA from 2018 to 2022.
You might be curious about her actions while in charge. Well, she allegedly made unapproved withdrawals from group accounts, and even went as far as to forge some checks. Talk about a breach of trust!
Fast forward to 2025, and after a grueling trial, Hodge was convicted by a Fayette County jury on 29 out of 31 charges. The trial analyzed a whopping 77 transactions and 25 allegedly forged documents[1].
So there you have it! Antoinette Hodge, once a promising public figure, now under the scrutiny of the law for her actions during her tenure. Keep it clean, folks!
