Texas Teacher Gets Weekend Jail, Probation - Updated

(Sugarland, Texas) Teacher Lynne Ellen Field has pleaded guilty before District Judge Clifford Vacek to a reduced charge of misdemeanor criminal mischief even though she was indicted on felony charges of arson and burglary.

Apparently, the court developed sympathy for Lynne Field's case.

As a result, Field was sentenced to 60 days in jail to be completed on weekends, to complete 250 hours of community service, to undergo weekly mental-health counseling and to pay a $1,000 fine and $5,593 in restitution.
