Stacy Griffin-Lowery was sentenced this fall to probation and community service after pleading guilty in federal court to the misapplication of Veterans Commission money. An indictment alleged she embezzled about $90,000 from 2005 to 2008 that had been intended to benefit veterans living in nursing homes.
