Former county economic development director Teresa Huffman was sentenced Feb. 20 to time in jail and house arrest as well as probation for misuse of public funds.
Huffman pleaded guilty in December to draining $46,870.89 from bank accounts of two charitable groups she oversaw while economic development director, and later depositing the money into her personal bank account. She later used part of the money to purchase a mobile home at the county lake.
The charge is a level 7 felony. State sentencing guidelines suggest a sentence ranging from 24 months’ probation to 30 months in prison, depending on any previous convictions.
