Woman sentenced in Mountain Ridge Band Parent Association embezzlement in Maryland

A Corriganville woman received a five-year suspended prison term and was ordered to make restitution of more than $14,000 to the Mountain Ridge Band Parent Association when her case was heard Wednesday in Allegany County Circuit Court.

Judge Donald E. Beachley, visiting from Washington County, sentenced Carol Lee Myers, 61, to five years in the Maryland Division of Correction and then suspended all five years through a plea agreement in which Myers pleaded guilty to one count of theft scheme greater than $1,000 and less than $10,000.

The theft scheme greater than $1,000 and less than $10,000 is a felony that carries a maximum prison term of 10 years and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

The judge also ordered Myers to serve five years of supervised probation and make restitution of $14,403.45 to the Mountain Ridge Band Parents Association.

The judge also ordered Myers to have no contact with the Mountain Ridge Band Parent Association and Mountain Ridge High School.

The imposed sentence reportedly followed the sentencing recommendation of the state.

The case investigated by Frostburg Police and the C3I Unit reportedly arose out of an incident involving sales from concessions to support the Mountain Ridge Band.

 Deputy State’s Attorney Fred Voss prosecuted the case. Myers was represented by attorney David M. Schramm of the Office of the Public Defender.
