A former town of Elcho official was sentenced to five years probation and three months in jail Monday, capping an emotional case involving the theft of government funds dating back to 2013.
Langlade County Circuit Court Judge Fred Kawalski also ordered Melissa A. Bloechl, 44, of W10898 Enterprise Lake Road to pay $68,271 in restitution on charges related to the theft of over $150,000 from the town during her tenure as clerk-treasurer.
“To say I’m sorry doesn’t scratch the surface,” Bloechl, represented by attorney Wright Laufenberg, told the court, adding she was willing to accept the consequences of her actions.
