An Athens man accused of stealing $107,554 from Limestone County Habitat for Humanity to rent a Gulf Shores condo, buy marital aids and more will serve no jail time, according to court records.

William "Greg" Miller, 58, of 513 S. Beaty Street was sentenced by Limestone County Circuit Judge Robert Baker after Miller and the Limestone County District Attorney's Office reached a plea agreement. Miller can avoid jail but must pay $30,000 in restitution and will have a misdemeanor conviction on his record.

Under the plea agreement offered by the DA's office, the felony first-degree theft charge was reduced to a misdemeanor fourth-degree theft, while the forgery charge was dismissed.

Jones said the $30,000 judgement, which Miller has already paid via check to the court, will be split three ways to First National Bank of Pulaski, where Miller obtained a loan using his position at Habitat; $10,000 for Habitat and $10,000 for Christopher, Durham, Pepper & Armstrong, or CDPA, of Athens, the accounting firm that sorted out how much Miller stole.

First National Bank sued Habitat and Miller over the loan he obtained. In the end, the bank and Habitat mutually agreed to dismiss the case. The agreement reached by the two parties was private and details could not be released.

Jones confirmed Miller used the money to rent a condo, buy concert tickets, fuel for his personal vehicle, clothing, a crossbow, luggage, food, vehicle repairs and several marital aids.

In accordance with the plea agreement, Miller was sentenced to one year in prison, but the jail time was suspended and Miller was placed on unsupervised probation for two years. He faces no jail time unless he violates the terms of his probation and a judge decides jail time is appropriate.
