Charles Paul Riehle
Charles Paul Riehle appeared in Suffolk Circuit Court Monday, where he was sentenced to four years each on two counts of embezzlement of more than $200.
Three years and nine months suspended for both counts, leaving Riehle to serve a total of one year and six months.
Suffolk Police say Riehle was arrested on July 9, 2018, on seven counts of embezzlement after authorities received a complaint regarding the misuse of funds by his department.
