A member of a ring of check-kiting adolescents has been sentenced to time in Weber County Jail. Britney Kylie Thorpe, 19, of Riverdale, was ordered to pay restitution of nearly $10,000 and sentenced to 45 days in jail. She is one of four young women charged since June with communications fraud for opening checking accounts to allegedly bounce thousands of dollars in bad checks. In 2nd District Court last week, Thorpe was ordered to pay $9,588.99 in restitution "jointly and severally" with any accomplices. The cases of her three female co-defendants' are still pending.
