Former Chambers County official sentenced for stealing more than $300K from conservatorships
68-year-old Roland Sledge has been sentenced to serve 12 months in the county jail after pleading guilty on Feb. 25 to taking more than $300,000 from three conservatorships he was responsible for - which is a Class B felony.
On April 8, specially appointed Chambers County Circuit Judge Brooke Reid sentenced Sledge to 46 months. Over the objection of the prosecution, the sentence was split for Sledge to serve 12 months in the county jail before being placed on probation for the duration of his sentence. Sledge, a former deputy district attorney in the 5th Judicial Circuit, was charged in three separate indictments in 2017 and 2020 with withdrawing funds from the bank accounts of three juveniles for whom he was a court-appointed conservator, while he was still a private attorney and continuing into his employment as a deputy district attorney.
As conservator, Sledge was required under the law to use the funds in the accounts to provide for and help the three juvenile victims. Instead, he withdrew more than $300,000 for his own use, depleting all three accounts.Copyright 2022 WTVM. All rights reserved.
