Stephanie Chatfield Faces Sentencing | Lansing News

Stephanie Chatfield, wife of former Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, is set to be sentenced today for felony embezzlement after pleading guilty to stealing between $200 and $1,000 from a defunct non-profit. Her plea deal means all other charges will be dropped if she completes probation. Originally, both she and Lee faced serious charges including conspiracy, with potential 10-year sentences. The case stems from a broader investigation that led to the sentencing of two former staffers, Rob and Anne Minard, who took plea deals to testify against Lee — accused of using non-profit funds for personal expenses. With the non-profit no longer active, restitution won’t be pursued, but prosecutors stress that non-profits must serve the public — not private wallets of those in power.
