CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A former worker at the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department was sentenced Tuesday to spend one year and one day in federal prison for stealing $40,000 in cash from the funds paid for conceal carry permits.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Cheryl Gray, 44, of Hilltop, was in charge of collecting the application fees for the permits from the sheriff. During a six-month period she stole the money and created incomplete lists of applicants that she submitted to the State Police.
Gray pleaded guilty to mail fraud back in June.
