Earlier this week, Sumrow was convicted by a jury of theft by a public servant, reports the Dallas Morning News, for converting $9,652.76 worth of computer equipment and purported business travel expenses for his personal use.

       "A public official, like Caesar's wife, must be above suspicion," the judge told Sumrow, while sentencing him to four years in prison. The Judge also told Sumrow, who is still facing trial on additional charges, including a claim that $68,000 in government expense money was improperly diverted to his personal account, “I'm sure you sent people to prison for far less than the charges against you."
