Ms. Worster pleaded guilty in Dec. 2007 to charges that she had forged 25 checks while working at Frenchmen Bay between Dec. 2005 and July 2007. She was not sentenced until recently because the state wanted to give her a chance to pay restitution on the money she had stolen, according to the report. As of sentencing, no money had been repaid.
Although sentenced to six years in prison, all but 18 months of Ms. Worster’s sentence was suspended, and she will have to serve three years’ probation once she is released, according to the report.
