Antoinette Hodge, the treasurer of Uniontown who was charged last year by then-Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro for allegedly stealing $106,000 in taxpayer funds while in office, is now facing more charges.
Fayette County District Attorney Richard Bower said Hodge “substantially depleted” the funds of the Youghiogheny Western Baptist Association, where she was a chair of the trustee board, with the first incident happening in July 2018 and continuing through the pandemic.
The YWBA is an organization that represents some Baptist churches in Fayette, Westmoreland, Greene, and Allegheny counties, as well as a church in Morgantown, W.Va.
Bower announced 38 felony charges and one misdemeanor charge against Hodge Thursday morning after a complaint was filed with his office in February.

Bower said in a three-year period, Hodge gambled more than $144,000 at Lady Luck Casino at Nemacolin, but stopped gambling there after an apparent incident with an employee.
The district attorney added an employee of a local convenience store reported Hodge spent more than $1,000 a day on Pennsylvania Lottery games at her store alone.

Did any of the soul-sacrificing lotto tickets actually win?
(Not that it will actually matter one iota within the context of eternity.
I was just almost curious.)
Did she win?
Lol! She probably will.
