Mom avoids jail on truancy charges
A Silver Spring Township mother won’t get jail time for truancy charges after all.
A Cumberland County judge agreed to to drop a jail sentence against Maggie Winters and reinstitute her earlier sentence of $3,989.50 in fines.
Winters pleaded guilty in November before District Judge Thomas Placey to the truancy charges for not sending her son to school, although she said she was educating 14-year-old Kyle at home and hadn’t been able to pay the fines because she lost her job.
