FRANKFORT, KY (Jan. 14, 2025) – Attorney General Russell Coleman has announced that action by the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit resulted in the guilty plea of Allison Morris, 48, of Graves County for unlawful theft from the Mayfield/ Graves County Chamber of Commerce.
On Monday, January 13, 2025, Allison Sloan Morris, the former President of the Mayfield/Graves County Chamber, pleaded guilty in Graves County Circuit Court to:
- One count of Theft by Unlawful Taking or Disposition, Greater than $10,000 and Less than $1 Million (Class C Felony)
As conditions of the plea, Morris will pay $20,000 in restitution to the Chamber and receive a five-year sentence. Morris will be sentenced on April 22, 2025.
According to court documents, Morris admitted to stealing funds from the Chamber between May 2021 to February 2024 to pay for personal expenses. A Graves County Grand Jury indicted Morris in May 2024.
“In the aftermath of the Western Kentucky tornadoes, the people of Graves County needed leaders with laser focus on rebuilding the community. I’m grateful to the investigators and prosecutors who held this thief accountable for her reprehensible actions,” said Attorney General Coleman.
The Kentucky State Police investigated the case. Assistant Attorney General Lindsey Studebaker prosecuted the case on behalf of the Commonwealth.
