Cindy Gillispie

(KAIR)--48 hours behind bars.

That’s the sentence handed down to the woman accused of misusing charitable funds.

55-year-old Cindy Gillispie was sentenced in Atchison County District Court to 12 months with the Kansas Department of Corrections on charges of making false information and theft by deception. However, that sentence was suspended to 18 months probation including the 48 hours behind bars.

She was also ordered to pay more than $9,000 in restitution.

Charges for the Weston woman stem from a Aug. 16 arrest by the Atchison Police Department following their investigation.

Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Gillispie issued unauthorized checks that totaled $8,000 between September of 2015 and July of this year while working as the manager of the Atchison Emergency Assistance Center for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas.

Following her arrest, Gillispie was released on a $10,000 bond.
