An Apple Valley woman entrusted with the financial welfare of disabled veterans instead stole from them to support her gambling habit.
On Tuesday, a federal judge sentenced Connie Marie Hanson, 56, to almost five years in prison for stealing nearly $1 million from the 33 veterans while she served as their appointed fiduciary.
Hanson admitted that from 2006 through 2008, she took hundreds of thousands of dollars from the veterans' bank accounts and gambled their money away.
