• Man who abused county credit card must repay $27,000, serve probation
– Ex-supervisor also gets two weekends in jail
– By Andrea F. Siegel
– Sun Staff - Originally published February 22, 2001
– The former Anne Arundel County warehouse supervisor who used a county-issued credit card to buy himself dozens of items that ranged from a "Star Wars" pinball machine to Raisinettes was ordered yesterday to repay the county nearly $27,000, spend two weekends in jail and five years on supervised probation.
– The judge was unsympathetic to Middleton's assertion of financial difficulties…she said. Chiding him for betraying the public's trust, Judge Davis-Loomis asked, "How closely does an employer have to monitor an employee whom they trust?"
– The maximum punishment for a felony theft scheme, to which Middleton pleaded guilty last month, is 15 years in prison and a $1,000 fine. However, he has no criminal record, and his sentence was within state guidelines of probation to six months.
