Fayette woman pleads guilty to mail fraud

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A former secretary for the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department pleaded guilty Tuesday to mail fraud charges.

U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Cheryl Gray of Hilltop pocketed the cash that was coming in to the department for gun permits. He said Gray created a false receipts book. Her fraud cost the sheriff’s department and State Police about $40,000.

Gray faces up to 20 years in prison at her Sept. 23 sentencing.
