A Winchester man will serve 15 years behind bars for his role in an embezzlement and money laundering scheme while employed with the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board.

Andrew T. Hahn plead guilty to five counts of embezzlement and one count of money laundering without agreement.

From mid 2019 until his arrest in October 2021, Hahn served as the CSB’s information technology manager.

Hahn was accused of embezzling more than $890,000 by creating false invoices for computer purchases from Anchored Technology LLC, which was solely owned by Hahn. More than $720,000 of these funds were found to be used for Hahn’s personal expenses from 2019 until late 2021.

The Rockingham County Circuit Court sentenced Hahn to 20 years on each embezzlement count, with 17 years suspended. The three years of incarceration on each embezzlement count are to run consecutively, for a total of 15 years of active incarceration. The court sentenced Hann to 40 years on the money laundering charge, the maximum allowed by statute, with all time suspended.

The court also ordered $189,410 in restitution.
