Airport Official Convicted
KENTUKY...
A former Blue Grass Airport official who was convicted of theft will serve no jail time unless he violates terms of a five-year conditional discharge. John S. Rhodes was sentenced Friday to 2� years in prison, but the judge conditionally discharged Rhodes for five years. If the 56-year-old Rhodes gets into trouble with the law in the next five years, he could have to serve out the sentence. Prosecutors recommended that Rhodes serve five years in jail. Rhodes pleaded guilty to one count of felony theft by deception in April. In the plea deal, prosecutors asked that five similar counts be dismissed. Rhodes' conviction involved his use of an airport credit card. Rhodes is a former administration and finance director of the Lexington airport.
