PORT ANGELES — A jury this morning found former evidence officer Staci L. Allison guilty on all counts in the theft of money from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.
The eight-woman, four-man jury found Allison, 41, guilty of first-degree theft — with an aggravating factor of the theft being a major economic offense — and money laundering.
She faces up to 10 years in prison.
Sentencing is set Nov. 17 in Clallam County Superior Court.
The verdict was announced at 11:30 a.m. today after the case went to the jury for deliberation at 2:25 p.m. Thursday.
Allison, who had moved to Montesano, was accused of stealing $8,644 from the sheriff’s evidence room when she worked as the Sheriff’s Office’s only evidence officer from 2003 through 2006.
As much as $51,251 in cash was found missing from the evidence room in November 2006.
Allison testified Thursday that she did not take the money and that she did not know who did.
Testimony in the trial began Tuesday.
