The former executive director of a veterans charity organization, convicted last year of stealing $900,000 from the nonprofit and using it for personal expenses, has been sentenced to a year in prison, according to a report. Court records showed that sentencing for Driscoll, a Maryland resident, has been stayed pending an appeal, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Tuesday. Driscoll resigned from the organization after leading it for 12 years when allegations surfaced in 2018 that she'd misused funds. The nonprofit dissolved its operations in September 2018 when Driscoll was found guilty. The nonprofit's 2015 tax filing reportedly indicated Driscoll misspent $900,000 on personal expenses going as far back as 2006.
