A Boonsboro woman drew an additional nine-month jail sentence Monday in Washington County Circuit Court for writing bad checks - checks she stole from her mother.
Danielle Lynn Sweigert, 22, pleaded guilty to one count of felony theft/scheme before Judge Donald Beachley, who sentenced her to four years in prison. He suspended all but nine months.
Sweigert currently is serving a sentence at the women's prison in Jessup for violation of probation on a 1995 case in which $300 worth of change was taken from a Boonsboro woman's home.
In the latest case, a Washington County Sheriff's Department investigation of several forged checks in June 1997 led to Sweigert's mother, who reported her daughter had taken six blank checks from her checkbook.
