The secret end to the embezzlement prosecution of a former South Weber councilman may soon become public, after all.
William Michael Poff, who was charged in 2014 with embezzling more than $200,000 from a Bountiful assisted living facility, resolved the criminal case against him earlier this month by entering into a secret diversion agreement — which led to the dismissal of three communications fraud charges, each a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
The Dec. 15 settlement was agreed to by a deputy prosecutor and a defense attorney, and 2nd District Judge Robert Dale ordered that the filing be sealed.
