MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) – A former quartermaster of a central Ohio Veterans of Foreign Wars post was sentenced Wednesday after stealing funds from the agency. According to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the former quartermaster from VFW Post 4044 in Union County has been ordered to repay more than $35,000 in stolen funds. Court documents state that Guy Andonian engaged in a check-writing scheme and siphoned $35,007.30 from charitable accounts between October 2017 and September 2019. Investigators found that checks with notes in the memo reading “help veterans in need” were issued from the VFW post’s charitable accounts to be cashed by co-conspirators in Union County. In Union County Common Pleas Court, Andonian pleaded guilty to telecommunications fraud, a third-degree felony, and was sentenced to make full restitution of the stolen funds and serve five years of community control. Andonian is also barred from serving as a financial power of attorney or in any fiduciary capacity.
