A Tennessee woman who admitted embezzling $36,000 from a youth mentoring group in West Virginia has been sentenced to at least a year in prison.
Thirty-seven-year-old Stephanie Jordan of Iron City, Tennessee, is a former bookkeeper for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State in Cabell County. She pleaded guilty to embezzlement in February 2015, when she told a judge that much of the unauthorized purchases went toward medical bills for her son.
She originally was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay $250 a month in restitution. But Jordan returned to jail last month pending a probation revocation hearing after prosecutors said she fell behind on restitution payments.
Media outlets report a Cabell County judge Monday ordered Jordan to serve one-to-10 years in prison.
