Ex-Baltimore Principal Sentenced To Probation For Stealing

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A former Baltimore principal who pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $60,000 from her high school's student activity fund has been sentenced to five years probation.

Maryland State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt said Thursday that 39-year-old Alisha Trusty was also ordered to finishing paying restitution at sentencing Thursday in Baltimore Circuit Court.

Prosecutors say Trusty used a debit card and checks linked to Western High School's student activity account to buy personal items and pay bills, including legal fees and utility bills.
