Since she is currently giving home care to a disabled woman and receiving the woman's social security check. You can be sure the court is going to let her out early. This woman worked for langlade,forest, and Oneida county sheriff's depts. Her sentence is lenient. It kind of makes me wonder what she has on a public official. Watch and see if she serves that full three months. The disabled woman
will be the courts excuse to let her out early. Three months wasn't long enough for the offense. She stole from the public that elected her. Shameful.
