A former Public Service Commission official who recently served aprison term for diverting public money for his personal use received12 months probation for another legal matter.
Wayne Crowder, the PSC's former manager of administration,pleaded guilty to violating the terms of a protective order obtainedby his former wife, Cindy Lucas.
Crowder was also charged with making harassing phone calls toLucas.
Kanawha Magistrate Carol Fouty on Monday sentenced Crowder to 90days in jail and $255 in fines as part of a plea agreement. Thesentence wound up being 12 months probation because of the timeCrowder had already served.
Fouty asked Crowder whether he would be able to pay the fines.
"Are you working?" she asked.
"No," Crowder said.
"That may be a problem," Fouty said.
"It's a big problem," Crowder responded.
Crowder must complete 32 sessions of domestic violencecounseling, Fouty said.
He was ordered to have no contact with Lucas or her family,although he wanted to make sure his lawyer could contact hers toresolve pending issues over the house they owned together.
Crowder served a four-month prison term for defrauding the PSC of$19,000 by using the agency's funds to buy expensive clocks, pens,manicure sets and other items not actually used by the agency.
