The Department of Justice<\/a> reports that Alexander Kudla<\/a>, a former licensed practical nurse who worked for Wilmington Veterans Affairs Medical Center was sentenced in Federal court for stealing more than $22,000 from a disabled veteran.<\/p>\n

A VAMC patient requested help withdrawing funds from an ATM due to the patient\u2019s physical limitations. Kudla abused his position at the VAMC as well as the trust of the victim by withdrawing funds from the victim\u2019s bank account for Kudla\u2019s personal use on over 40 occasions between February 2015 and July 2015. As part of his sentence, the District Court ordered Kudla to pay full restitution of $22,320 to the victim, with $4,000 due immediately.<\/p>\n

Kudla is no longer employed with the VAMC or with the Department of Veterans Affairs. \u201cWe take allegations of employee misconduct very seriously, especially when those allegations are related to the welfare of our Veterans. We are grateful to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for prosecuting this case and we will continue to be vigilant, ensuring Veterans receive care and treatment in a safe and caring environment,\u201d said Vince Kane, director of the Wilmington VA Medical Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, Kudla didn’t get any jail time – he got three years on probation and he has to pay the veteran back<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
