OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A former worker at the Oklahoma Health Department received a five-year deferred sentence in Oklahoma County District Court Tuesday after pleading guilty to 18 counts of embezzlement.

Elliott Thompson also paid full restitution of about $140,000 and was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and pay a fine, court costs and victim-compensation assessment.

Thompson worked as regional health consultant and head cashier when he took money intended as payment for copies of birth and death records.

He was indicted after a joint investigation by the attorney general's office and the FBI.
