Restitution shortfall sends Falls woman to prison

LOCKPORT—A woman who failed to pay full restitution in a forgery case was sentenced to 1 1/3 to four years in prison Wednesday by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.

Angie M. Casal, 31, of North Avenue, Niagara Falls, had admitted to her second probation violation.

Last October, Murphy sentenced her to six months in the County Jail for not completing her assignment to the county work program. Casal also fell behind on repaying $7,800 she stole by forging checks taken from the homes of two patients whom she served as a home care aide in 2008.
