A District firefighter was sentenced to seven days in jail for taking payments for CPR training that should have gone to the fire department.
Natalie Overton-Williams, 41, of Capitol Heights, has also agreed to make restitution of $3,610.
The fire department placed Williams on paid leave over the allegations in September 2008, but did not take any disciplinary action against her. The District has paid Williams more than $140,000 to stay home from work until the case was resolved.
Fire officials said they were waiting for the results of the investigation to determine whether to fire her, but an IG spokesman told The Washington Examiner last year that the department didn’t need to wait for the IG to fire Williams. City rules require the department to begin disciplinary proceedings within 90 days of the alleged infraction.
