Paducah Convention Center Embezzlers Face Federal Charges

By Drew Adams

Murray, KY – J. Patrick Kerr and Susan Wilson will face federal charges over allegations of embezzlement from the Paducah Convention and Expo Center. Felony charges of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds were filed in a Louisville U-S district court. The announcement comes as a result of a Secret Service investigation carried out in conjunction with McCracken County officials. The Paducah Sun reports both the state and federal charges carry maximum sentences of 10 years. Under federal law the maximum sentence can be adjusted depending on the amount of money stolen.
