The former treasurer of the Poland Swim Club was sentenced Friday to five years probation and to pay back the remainder of the $25,000 he pleaded guilty to stealing from the club.

Brad Sackella, 40, of Four Seasons Trail, was handed down the sentence Friday by Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge R. Scott Krichbaum after Sackella, who was fired from the club in June, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree felony theft in a bill of information.

Sackella was accused of stealing the money as the treasurer. Prosecutors said he still has to pay back $15,100 in restitution.

Our local swim club has this in principle great idea to give every swimmer a medal at the annual club meet, by letting them race three at a time and then hand out gold, silver and bronze. Only problem, that the kids realize almost immediately that bronze means last. Bjarki got a silver, and mentioned something like ‘at least it’s not bronze’, on our way back home ;-)

“This was an offence of misadventure rather than of intention,” Ms Powell said.

“He believed the man on his lap had control of the brake and accelerator.”
