One of the Parkland's most controversial cases in recent years is set to be back in court in Monday. 

In 2022, Amber Fisher was fired as Chief Administative Officer for Gilbert Plains, after a report found she stole more than $500,000 of the municipality's money during her time in office. Fisher also faked a cyberattack against the municipality in an attempt to cover her tracks. 

After a lawsuit by the Municipality in 2023, Fisher was ordered to pay back $525,000 with an annual interest rate of 5%. 

Last summer, Fisher pleaded guilty to a charge of theft over $5,000. 2 other charges, knowingly using proceeds of crime and fraud over $5,000, were stayed. 

Monday's court appearance will be a sentencing hearing.
