WASHINGTON COUNTY (KFSM) — A former Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputy was sentenced to 10 years probation August 17 after pleading guilty to insurance fraud and terroristic threatening, according to court records.
Steve Hulsey, 43, received 60 months probation for insurance fraud and another 60 months probation for terroristic threatening in the first degree, records show.
