A Catholic High School Principal in East Moline, Illinois was senteced to 90 Days in jail as well as community service and restitution for his admitting stealing to cover gambling debts. This is according to an article in the Quad City Times Online Edition today.
“I was unable to stop,” Todd Morris, 29, said. “I take full responsibility for what I did.”
Morris was sentenced to 90 days in Rock Island County Jail, four years of probation, 400 hours of community service and to pay a $500 fine and court costs. He also was ordered to pay $11,480.76 in restitution. Morris actually will serve about 45 days in jail, officials said.
The judge suggested that Morris use his background in education and required community service hours to educate people about gambling addiction.
Prison, Insanity, or Death. Just another example of where this addiction can take some of us.
