(Benton, IL) — A former southern Illinois city clerk is looking at four years behind bars for stealing from taxpayers. A federal judge yesterday sentenced Ryan Thorpe to 48 months in prison. Prosecutors say Thorpe stole about 300 thousand-dollars from the town of Zeigler, some of which taxpayers will never get back. Thorpe pleaded guilty back in March.
