Mila Depinaa-Cooley was convicted on three counts of receiving property worth more than $250, the Suffolk County District Attorney said. The judge sentenced her to six months in prison, though she will only have to serve 60 days with the remainder being suspended for a year, the prosecutor said. 

She must also complete 100 community service hours. 

Authorities said Cooley bought more than $2,500 worth of Home Depot gift cards for half their face value in 2010 and 2011.
