 "FLINT, MI -- A scandal that took down the head of a public agency, a Flint police chief and his father, as well as a former Flint School Board member has come to end with more than $500,000 in taxpayer money misused and not a single day of jail for anyone involved.

Pamela Loving, the former head of Career Alliance who a federal judge called the leader of the "criminal episode," was ordered to pay back more than a half-million dollars after she admitted to embezzling tax-payer money and funding a program led by a relative without approval of the federal government.

U.S. District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith, however, spared Loving from more than a year in prison and instead placed her on five years' probation with a year of house arrest.

Loving, who is unemployed and has filed for bankruptcy, was also ordered to pay $586,000 in restitution."
