Former Missouri Public Administrator Sentenced for Theft

A former southeast Missouri public administrator has been placed on probation for five years for stealing more than $35,000 from those under her care.

The Sikeston Standard Democrat reports that Nancy Pardon was also ordered to pay restitution at a hearing on Friday. She had earlier pleaded guilty to three theft-related charges.

Pardon was public administrator for New Madrid County before resigning in 2008. She was appointed guardian of the estate of Evelyn Barnes. The Missouri State Highway patrol says Pardon spent nearly all of Barnes' money — more than $35,000 — on herself.

No pardon for Pardon.
You steal; no deal!

No jail? Not too much incentive to stop the next thief, is it?

I wonder if they reviewed all of her cases for theft as well...

Probation for 5 years-it seems to just keep on going.

You know, it's awful that she spent the money on herself, but if she hadn't, would the theft have been any less a theft?

So who's supposed to be watching the Public Administrator?
