Ex-township trustee who stole $270K ordered to pay $150 a month to taxpayers

The former Ashland Township trustee appeared in court Tuesday to face accusations she’s not paying back enough of the $270,000 in taxpayer money she stole. Sandra Norman, who now goes by the name Sandra Arthur, pleaded guilty to theft and official misconduct in 2013 and agreed to pay restitution to the taxpayers she was supposed to serve. Current Ashland Township trustee Jeanne Walters took over the office following Arthur’s arrest and said Arthur has only paid $2,442 and has a remaining balance of $267,558.
