Deborah Perry, 52, of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania and former treasurer for Thornbury Township, pleaded guilty to embezzling from the Township over an 8 year period and sentenced to 3-6 years in prison, plus fines and restitution of $303,000. Perry was reportedly ratted out by her former boyfriend, Robert James Hance, who was accused of spending $40,000 of the ill gotten funds. She joins a list of other Delaware County public employees who have stolen from taxpayers. Mary Arnold was convicted last year of embezzling $287,000 in lunch money funds from the Southeast Delco School District and Carol Ackley, who pleaded guilty in March to stealing nearly $600,000 from the Ridley School District for which she was employed as payroll coordinator.
