DELAWARE COUNTY, Ohio — A Delaware woman was sentenced Friday after she pleaded guilty to one count of theft in office.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
Former Delaware County 911 Supervisor Cathy Jenkins stole overtime pay by reporting hours she did not work, authorities said.
A criminal investigation began after the Delaware County sheriff’s office received information from the Delaware County auditor’s office regarding possible improper payroll activity at the 911 center from April 2007 through October 2008.
She pleaded guilty to theft-in-office charges Wednesday, April 22, 2009.
Jenkins was sentenced to 30 days in jail, and a Delaware County judge ordered her to repay the $10,183.51 she stole from Delaware County.
Jenkins was terminated from her job at the Delaware County 911 Center, a department that operates under the authority of the Delaware County Commissioners.
Theft in office is a fifth-degree felony, punishable by as much as one year in prison.

Leona?
Why does this poor woman have to pay back every penny, but Bernard Madoff’s wife gets to keep “only” $2.5M?
To paraphrase the Queen of Mean, “restitution is for the little people”.
Does anyone remember a certain Columbus mayors wife that recieved a pay check for months for a job she only showed up 8 hours for?Was there ever a punishment or repayment on that case?
30 days, restitution, loss of job and permanent record damage which most likely will result in no employment seems sufficient to me. We need the prison/jail space for the real criminals.
30 days! What an injustice. Looks like the Delaware County Court system is just as corrupt as Franklin County.
