Ex-Walnut Grove city clerk gets prison time for embezzling city funds

Prosecutors say former Walnut Grove city clerk Cari Gillmore was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison Tuesday for embezzling city funds.

Gillmore, 45, was also ordered to pay more than $66,000 in restitution after pleading guilty to a fraud charge in May, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri.

The news release says Gillmore's actions cost the city $66,598.71.
