by: Joe Gorman

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Poland woman who pleaded guilty to falsifying records in a case in Mahoning County Probate Court was sentenced Tuesday in common pleas court to five years probation.

Katina Soltis, 54, must also serve three days in the county jail and write a letter of apology to Probate Court Judge Robert Rusu as part of her sentence.

Soltis pleaded guilty May 28 before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum to two counts of tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.

Prosecutors say she forged documents in Mahoning County Probate Court indicating that she deposited $32,000, which had been willed to her children by a relative, but investigators say she kept the money for herself.

A grand jury indicted her in April.
