In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
According to court documents, Hall engaged in a scheme that involved conducting financial transactions to overpay herself through reimbursements and commissions to which she was not entitled. Additionally, she wrote checks to herself without proper authorization and created fraudulent invoices that resulted in unauthorized payments for her personal financial gain. As part of her plea agreement, Hall has committed to repaying $258,143.51 in restitution to her former employer. She now faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison, with the final determination of her sentence to be made by a federal district court judge, who will consider sentencing guidelines and other legal factors. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Eleanor Hurney prosecuting the matter for the government. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble oversaw the proceedings.
