Ashland Woman Sentenced on Federal Drug Charges

Misty Evans must also pay restitution and be on supervised release after serving prison time
HUNTINGTON -- A former network administrator for a local mattress company is sentenced to prison on Federal drug charges.
Misty Dawn Evans, 35, from Ashland, was sentenced to 13 months in prison. Evans was charged with computer intrusion and causing damage to the computer servers at her former employer, Innovative Mattress Solutions, which does business as Mattress Warehouse.
According to Federal court officials, Evans pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to illegally accessing computer servers of the company in Winfield.
Evans admitted she deleted all of the user accounts that control all local and remote access to the Company’s computer servers.

To their credit some people believe the computer is a drug..

Here it is Sunday evening and WOWK is still at the final four in Indy with nothing to report except the thoughts of the reporters, you know how they feel. The three shot of the team was at a low angle so the viewer wouldn’t notice nobody else was around. Thankfully retirement looms and I can only lament the fact that I didn’t, at least, try to do more to guide and direct the next generation. I make excuses for my lapse but the folks that taught me really knew what broadcast news was about and it seems to be lost to this generation of self promoting talent.

This is why you don't do everything your bosses as you to do.

My former employer, the Iranian sweat ship IT house of Huntington frequently wanted us to violate ethics and law.
