A Crofton woman was sentenced yesterday in Anne Arundel Circuit Court to 18 months on work-release for embezzling at least $13,500 from the town's PTA and athletic council.
Susan Haller, 32, former treasurer of the Crofton Meadows PTA and registrar of the Crofton Athletic Council, pleaded guilty yesterday to taking at least $10,000 from the council. Prosecutors said Haller has arranged to make an $800 payment toward that debt, and $400 a month until the debt is paid off.
She also pleaded guilty Oct. 26 to taking $3,500 from the elementary school's PTA.
Haller, of the 2000 block of Cambridge Drive, is a former free-lance community correspondent for The Sun.
