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.
