LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — A Lynchburg woman, Shaquita Ford, has pleaded guilty in connection with an embezzlement case involving the city’s firefighters’ association.
According to court records, between 2022 and 2024, Ford, who served as the association’s treasurer, transferred more than $13,000 from the organization’s bank account into her personal account.
Before her court appearance, Ford repaid the full amount and entered a guilty plea to misdemeanor embezzlement.
A Bedford County judge sentenced her to six months in jail, but suspended the entire sentence, meaning Ford will not serve any active jail time.
