Ex-Phelps County official gets jail time
Court records say 68-year-old Mary Hammond had been sentenced in October 2007 to five years' probation. The former Phelps County deputy treasurer was fired from the post after her arrest on suspicion of embezzling from the treasurer's office.
She pleaded no contest to felony theft by unlawful taking.
Hammond was supposed to pay back $1,000 a month until she repaid all $31,200.
But earlier this fall Hammond's probation officer reported that she was delinquent $5,600 on the restitution payments.
Her probation was revoked Tuesday, and she was given 180 days in jail, with 60 days to be suspended.
