June Shepardson, 62, pleaded guilty in Cayuga County Court to fourth-degree grand larceny (a class E felony). 

Shepardson, who resigned Aug. 31 as Moravia town and village judge after a state investigation into more than $6,000 in missing funds, is set to be sentenced March 14 to five years of felony probation.

Cayuga County District Attorney Brittany Grome Antonacci told Ë®¹ûÅÉAV after court that as a part of Shepardson's plea agreement, she paid more than $6,000 in restitution prior to pleading. Of that total, $6,173 went to the Moravia town court and $153 went to the village of Moravia. Shepardson also agreed to complete treatment for gambling addiction, and to not run for public office again.

Having served as a town and village justice in Moravia since 2001, Shepardson was suspended in July amid the state investigation. She was arraigned in Aurelius Town Court earlier this month. 

Shepardson's attorney, J. Justin Woods, previously told Ë®¹ûÅÉAV his client "developed a gambling addiction for which she is now in recovery."

Also in court

• Armando A. Perez, 36, was sentenced to one to three years in state prison for driving while intoxicated with a previous conviction in the last 10 years (a class E felony). When he is out of prison, any vehicle he operates has to have an ignition interlock device. 

• Andrew R. Smith, 33, with a previously listed address of 97 Van Anden St., Auburn, was sentenced to two months in the Cayuga County Jail followed by five years of probation for both driving while intoxicated with a previous conviction in the last 10 years and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle (both class E felonies.). Those sentences will run concurrently, and they satisfied Smith's other charge of use of a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock device (a misdemeanor).
