TAHLEQUAH — A Tahlequah woman was sentenced to two years of probation and six months of home confinement Friday during a hearing in front of Judge James H. Payne, chief judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

Gloria Ann Case, 48, was indicted in February 2010 amid allegations that she, while working for the Cherokee Nation, accepted cash payments on tribal loans from tribal members and then created false receipts showing the money had been paid. Case also occasionally transferred funds between accounts to cover what she had taken, said U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling.

She pleaded guilty to the charge of embezzlement and theft from an Indian tribal organization last April. The indictment alleged Case embezzled more than $1,000 from the Cherokee Nation between March 2005 and May 2008. The Cherokee Nation Marshal Service conducted an investigation, which eventually led to the charges.

Case has also been ordered to pay $10,213.21 in restitution to the Cherokee Nation.

Harnessing talents
Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

Scare tactics on aliens?
Editor, Daily Press:
I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.
