WEST PITTSTON, Pa. — A northeastern Pennsylvania woman has been charged with stealing more than $5,000 from a fund meant to support families of troops stationed overseas.

Police charged Christine Healey of West Wyoming with theft Friday. She’s free on $10,000 unsecured bail.

Healey was president of the Delta Company Family Readiness Group at the 109th Field Artillery and managed all financial transactions of the account.

Police say Healey stole donations to the fund — including some made in memory of the late First Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo. The National Guard soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in May.

Healey’s phone number is disconnected and she could not be reached for comment.
