In Yale, 35-year-old Kymberly Williams was sentenced to three years of probation and 30 days in jail for stealing $47,000 from her employer, Center Line Gage, to fund her gambling habit. She wrote forged checks, causing layoffs at the machine shop. Despite her plea to avoid jail, Judge Daniel Damman ordered the sentence after Williams failed to pay an initial $5,000 restitution. The shop’s owner, Matt Jurcak, forgave her, but the judge emphasized the harm caused to workers who lost jobs.
