Cabell County Circuit Judge Alfred
Ferguson told the former executive director of the Huntington Area Foodbank
Friday she could no longer be trusted.
“You should never be in a position of
trust where you handle money,” Judge Ferguson said.
Zappin, 57, was originally indicted on
17 criminal counts. She eventually pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement.
“I am saying you’ve got a character
flow there and I understand that,” the judge told Zappin.
Zappin is scheduled to report to jail in November
