Bama fans, gettin’ money, gettin’ paper

In a materialistic world, people are driven to monumental lengths to obtain the finer things in life.  Luxury cars, first class travel, lavish clothing and gifts…these are the things that can be achieved with hard work, great personal sacrifice, and even a little luck.  But when Alabama football season tickets are part of those “finer things”, damn the luck, lets get to check forgin’!

A federal judge today sentenced a Hoover woman to 30 months in prison for stealing more than $1 million from her employer, using the money to pay for season tickets to University of Alabama football, clothes, trips and pageant gowns.

Perrin pleaded guilty in September to federal health care, wire and tax fraud and admitted to stealing money from Simon Williamson Clinic — a clinic for West End — from July 2005 to February 2009. She wrote checks to herself or wrote checks from the clinic’s account to pay for her personal expenses.

An FBI agent testified Wednesday that Perrin went on shopping sprees for clothes. She used the money for jet skis, a BMW and trips to such places as Destin, New York and Las Vegas.

Be honest, you expected the trip list to include Branson, Pigeon Forge, Eureka Springs, and Panama City.
