A Tontitown councilwoman was found guilty by a Washington County Circuit judge Monday of making a false statement on a petition verification form last year.
Rhonda Doudna, 50, of 462 Pozza Lane in Tontitown was found guilty by Circuit Judge Mark Lindsay during a bench trial. Lindsay fined Doudna $500 and gave her no jail time.
The offense is a class "D" felony punishable by up to six years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
Doudna said she plans to appeal.
