Ind. Courts - More on: Plea agreement for Tippecanoe ex-bailiff rejected
Updating this ILB entry from April 28th, the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports today that:
DELPHI -- A former Tippecanoe County court bailiff was sentenced Thursday to house arrest and probation for padding her work hours.Kelly M. Davis, 31, a former bailiff in Tippecanoe Superior Court 1, pleaded guilty to Class D felony theft before Special Judge Donald Currie of Carroll County.
Based on a plea agreement, Currie sentenced Davis to 30 days on house arrest, ordered her to pay $6,162.21 in restitution within 10 days and do 60 hours of community service.
According to the plea agreement, if Davis successfully completes her 11/2 years on supervised probation and pays her restitution, her conviction will be reduced to a misdemeanor.
In February, Davis entered a similar plea agreement before Judge Don Daniel of Tippecanoe Circuit Court, but Daniel rejected the deal.
In June, he granted a joint motion by special prosecutor Todd Meyer of Boone County and Davis' attorney, Jennifer Lukemeyer, asking him to appoint Currie as special judge.
