A woman who was convicted of stealing money while she was the director of Cannon County's former REACH afterschool program is no longer facing criminal action as a result of not having paid restitution in full.

Judge David Bragg granted a motion to waive restitution made by Angela Hale-Scott, who was known as Angela King when she was convicted in 2012.

At that time Bragg placed King (Hale-Scott) on state probation for five years and ordered her to pay restitution to Cannon County in the amount of $26,170 for theft over $10,000.

Bragg's order signed on Dec. 7 states, "that upon final payment of the court costs associated with this case, as well as payment of $1,000, said amount representing the insurance deductible paid by Cannon County related to their loss incurred as a result of this case, the Defendant's (Hale-Scott) probation shall terminated."

According to the Cannon County Court Clerk's Office, as of Thursday (Dec. 14), Hale-Scott owed court costs in the amount of $674.50 and the $1,000 for the insurance deductible.

Bragg's order also read, "that upon termination of the Defendant's probation, the restitution owing is converted to a civil judgment in the amount of $63,779.42, minus any amounts previously paid either through the the Cannon County Circuit Court Clerk's Office, or the Bankruptcy Trustee."

The order also states, "that the Defendant agrees that a lien is hereby created against her and any property she may subsequently obtain, through which full satisfaction of any remaining restitution amount owing may be recovered" and "that if the restitution owing has been included in any bankruptcy proceedings, that Defendant agrees to make all payments thereon until properly discharged from the bankruptcy proceedings."

Hale-Scott is currently employed by the Westbrook Towers Affordable Housing Corporation in Murfreesboro.
