CARLISLE, Pa. (WHTM) -
Georgina Zogby, the wife of Pennsylvania Budget Secretary Charles Zogby, has been sentenced to five years of probation on shoplifting charges.
Zogby, 48, must also do 60 hours of community service as part of the sentence she received Tuesday.
Zogby pleaded guilty last month to two counts of retail theft in Cumberland County. Prosecutors said she was caught shoplifting at the TJ Maxx store in Hampden
Township in January 2010 and stole groceries from the
Wegmans in Silver Spring Township in May of 2011.
Zogby last month also pleaded guilty to drunk driving charges in York County. Police said she had a blood-alcohol content of .117 when she
crashed and overturned a car last September near her Fairview Township
home. Sentencing in the case is scheduled for July 2.
She is scheduled for trial next month for DUI and fleeing and eluding a police officer near
Mechanicsburg, an incident that sparked controversy among critics of Governor Tom Corbett
after an on-duty state trooper assigned to the governor's mansion left his post to drive Zogby home from
the Cumberland County Prison.
