Plumber photoRobert and Theresa Ann Carr seemed like a normal married couple, not the sort who would steal from their union. But a federal grand jury has indicted them for doing just that for more than seven years. On April 9, the Carrs were charged in Sacramento federal court with embezzling more than $45,000 from United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 228. Robert Carr, secretary-treasurer and business manager of the Yuba City, California union, and his wife, who may have been a temporary union employee, allegedly lined their pockets to pay for a wide range of personal expenditures. Mr. Carr denied all charges, saying: "We've been working on (this case) for a long time and we're denying everything. It'll all come out in court."
