August 31, 2006
A former Virginia mayor, convicted of stealing Social Security checks and transferring $31,500 to himself from a church charity to pay debts, will not be sent to prison, reports The Associated Press.
Instead, Carl B. Hutcherson Jr., who resigned his post as Lynchburg mayor and pastor at a United Methodist church, will receive three years’ probation and must pay $15,000 and complete 200 hours of community service.
