One of Two Women Recent Embezzlers in Hinsdale

Maybe is about how we treat local women with low wage and benefits jobs. Insecure jobs. We don't prepare them for a bright future. We pay them pennies and give the women great responsibilities with large sums of money.

Why does so many women get wrapped up in embezzlement cases?

PUTNEY, Vt. — A Hinsdale woman is accused of embezzling more than $42,000 from a nonprofit organization in the town of Putney.

Patricia Field, 63, of Hinsdale faces a charge of embezzlement in connection with the theft from Putney Family Services. She was cited Thursday by the Windham County Sheriff's Department, according a news release the office issued Monday.

Field had previously served as the nonprofit agency's executive director but is no longer employed there, according to Melissa Evans, a corporal for the Windham County Sheriff's Department. Evans declined to say when Field allegedly took the money, citing an ongoing investigation.

She is scheduled to be arraigned March 22 in the Windham Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in Brattleboro.
