Former Blue Grass Airport Director Probated

{Kentucky}...Wednesday, Fayette County Circuit Judge Pamela Goodwine approved 18 months probation for 53 year old John P. Slone, the former director of planning and development at the Blue Grass Airport, who admitted playing a part in an airport spending scandal. Slone was sentenced to 12 months in jail in June 2010 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit theft by deception, a misdemeanor, in the airport scandal. Goodwine conditionally discharged that sentence for two years. In June, Goodwine ordered Slone to serve 12 months in jail after he violated the terms of his conditional discharge by being arrested for driving under the influence in Bartholomew County, Indiana. He pleaded guilty in May.
