JACKSON – A Prentiss County woman was found guilty of stealing more than $15,000 from an elderly Tippah County resident.
State Attorney General Jim Hood reports that Sharon Sallie, 48, of Booneville, was found guilty in Tippah County Circuit Court on of one count of false pretense and one count of conspiracy. Circuit Court Judge Andrew K. Howorth sentenced Sallie to serve 10 years for false pretense to run concurrently to five years for conspiracy.
As a habitual offender, she must serve the sentence day-for-day as a habitual offender. Sallie was additionally ordered to pay $15,518.25 in restitution to the victim and court costs.
The victim believed she was helping Sallie and two other codefendants with a temporary loan. They told the victim the loan would be repaid following the settlement of a medical lawsuit. However, there was no such lawsuit or settlement. Ahmad Fryar, of Ripley, and Jessica Plaxico, of Booneville, were recently sentenced for false pretense and conspiracy charges associated with this case.
