A Hawaii man has been charged with embezzling more than $80,000 from a mail carriers’ labor organization at the time he was the union’s treasurer.

David M. Ing took $83,293 from the Hawaii branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers for his own use from Jan. 31, 2011, to Dec. 2, 2011, according to a grand jury indictment filed last week in U.S. District Court in Hawaii. 

His initial appearance was set for today before Judge Kevin Chang.

Ing also made several withdrawals below a certain amount to avoid federal reporting requirements for the banks, according to the indictment.

The National Association of Letter Carriers is the union for mail carriers in Hawaii.
