Episode Details

Former Johnson County coroner Mike Pruitt just got sentenced after pleading guilty to seven misdemeanor charges for providing alcohol to a 17-year-old girl — a case that spiraled when the victim’s mother sought a protective order. He resigned the day before his plea, avoiding jail time in exchange for stepping down from office — a move prosecutors deemed more valuable than incarceration. The judge ordered two days served, 363 days probation, and over $13,000 in restitution, with potential additional costs for attorney fees and lost wages. Pruitt apologized tearfully in court, and the victim’s family called the proceedings a step toward closure. He’s headed to Florida for a 30-day residential treatment program, while the family requests privacy as they heal.
