SUNBURY, Pa. — A former probation officer in Northumberland County was sentenced to three months to nearly two years in prison for stealing thousands of dollars from the county.
Investigators say Jimmie Cortelyou, 41, stole more than $30,000 in house arrest funds from the probation and parole office between June of 2014 and February of 2016.
Cortelyou has since repaid the cash, and an additional $25,000 for the cost of the audit that uncovered the theft in Northumberland County.
