ATHENS, Ala. (AP) - A former north Alabama principal is apologizing for stealing thousands of dollars in equipment from his school.
Mickey Glass says he must fully admit his crimes and accept responsibility to earn back the respect of his family and community. His lawyer issued the apology on Tuesday.
Glass is the former administrator of the Limestone County Career Technical Center. He pleaded guilty Monday to theft for stealing thousands of dollars in equipment from the school.
Glass avoided prison under a plea deal, but he will have to spend five years on probation. He also must pay restitution.
The 41-year-old Glass was arrested in December. He was accused of taking school equipment that he sold online.
The Limestone County School Board has banned Glass from school property for life.
