UPDATE 5/30/19 @ 11:53 a.m.


A woman from Clay County, known for making a racist post about former first lady Michelle Obama in 2016, is heading to prison after embezzling flood disaster benefits.

A judge sentenced Pamela Taylor, the former Clay County development director, to 10 months in federal prison and a $10,000 fine. She was also sentenced to home confinement for the first two months after she gets out of prison and supervised release for three years.

Taylor falsely registered for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster benefits after flooding in Clay County.
