(Bay City News) Despite previously indicating he wouldn't do so, a Bay County judge sent a woman to jail for making up a story about being raped in a Delta College parking lot.
Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran on Monday, June 18, sentenced 21-year-old Mary T. Zolkowski to 45 days in jail, with no credit for any time served. Once Zolkowski serves her term, she'll be on probation for two years, during which she is to be tested for drugs and alcohol and participate in substance abuse counseling.
judge also ordered Zolkowski receive a mental health assessment.
Sheeran deferred an additional 220 days in jail, meaning Zolkowski will only have to serve them if she violates probation.
