(from the 2005 paws run where 60 riders rode)From the Tallahassee Democrat: The former director of the Wakulla County Animal Control
(NOTE: HOME OF THE ANNUAL PAWS POKER RUN WITH A $500 BEST HAND) pleaded guilty Wednesday to stealing more than $21,000 from the agency, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell said.
Gail Obenland was stealing the money from pet adoption fees, he said.
She was sentenced to five years of probation and 90 days in the sheriff's work camp. She has to pay a minimum of $350 a month in restitution to Animal Control, which is under the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office, and to the Sheriff's Office, Campbell said.
The court withheld a legal finding of guilt because it was her first offense, Campbell said.
WHAT????????????????????????????
Some who are assigned to the camp clean the animal shelter, but Maj. Jared Miller said that's typically for offenders with a medical condition.
"She will more than likely be on the road picking up trash," Miller said. "She definitely doesn't need to be back at the animal shelter."
Obenland was arrested in January after a four-month investigation by the Sheriff's Office, Campbell said. Sheriff David Harvey had called for an audit.
