A former union officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to embezzling more than $50,000 from the Texarkana, Ark., Chapter 386 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Clinton Humphrey, 43, appeared Tuesday morning with Texarkana lawyer John Pickett for a plea hearing before U.S. District Judge Susan Hickey in a third-floor courtroom of Texarkana's downtown federal building.
Humphrey entered a guilty plea to an information charging him with embezzlement of union funds without having the case first presented to a grand jury for indictment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Ross said Humphrey, a senior lineman with American Electric Power, gained access to union funds when he became the union's secretary and treasurer in late 2009.
