A federal judge sentenced an Ohio man to two years in prison last week for embezzling more than $436,000 from Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union.

On Sept. 9, U.S. District Judge James S. Gwin in Cleveland ordered Andrew Belzinskas, 45, of Lyndhurst, to pay $436,026 in restitution. Gwin also placed him on three years of supervised release after serving his federal prison term.
