BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Erie County District Attorney's Office announced that 33-year-old Samantha Tarczynski of Hamburg pleaded guilty on Friday in Hamburg Town Court to one count of disorderly conduct and was ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and pay a $275 fine.
The district attorney's office said between May 17, 2019 and October 24, 2020, Tarczynski knowingly misused a credit card belonging to the Town of Hamburg to purchase personal items valued at less than $1,000. The Hamburg Town Board voted to terminate her in September 2021.
“This defendant was trusted to oversee finances on behalf of the residents of Hamburg, but instead she misused a town credit card to purchase items for herself. My office is committed to restoring our citizen’s trust in public employees and will continue to prosecute cases involving the misuse of taxpayer dollars. I want to thank the New York State Comptroller’s Office for their assistance in this investigation."
- Erie County DA John Flynn
