Iowa Falls woman sentenced on theft charges

November 19, 2008 By admin

An Iowa Falls woman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for taking taxpayer money during her time as director of the Hardin County Solid Waste Commission.

Fourty-six-year-old Mary Ellen Taylor was arrested on first-degree theft charges last March after a state audit found over $100,000 had been misappropriated. Taylor was accused of using the money to pay off personal credit cards, while giving three-thousand dollars to husband’s business.

The audit covered a period between January 2002 and December 2007, when Taylor was fired from her job. In addition to the prison term, Taylor is ordered to pay a one-thousand dollar fine and pay more than $35,000 in restitution.
