Former Teacher Sentenced
- {Elizabeth, West Virginia}...Wirt County Circuit Court Judge Robert Waters sentenced 39 year old Christy Wilson Tuesday to serve 15 days in jail, perform up to 300 hours of community service and make restitution of almost $9,000 to the Wirt County Board of Education. Wilson pleaded guilty to embezzlement in December, admitting she took $3,600 from the Wirt County Band Boosters Club and used the money to pay bills. She was the club's treasurer at the time. Prosecutors say almost $9,000 was taken. Wilson was a teacher at the Wirt County Primary Center and was a softball coach. The school board fired her in January.
