(BROWNSTOWN) - A woman who recently pleaded guilty to overcharging Brownstown Central Community School Corp. nearly $8,000 in mileage reimbursements for five years will not do any jail time.
49-year-old Sherrie Ellen Fee of Medora was ordered to repay the money and spend a year on probation by Jackson Circuit Judge Richard W. Poynter.
That sentence follows on the heels of a plea agreement in which Fee agreed guilty to one count of theft, a Class 6 felony.
Judge Poynter reduced that felony count to a Class A misdemeanor conviction and ordered Fee to spend a year in jail. He then suspended that sentence and ordered her to pay the school corporation $7,825.96 within 30 days.
The state agreed to dismiss four additional theft charges as part of the plea agreement.
