A woman has been handed 15 years in jail for helping her boyfriend break out of jail by impersonating a sheriff’s deputy.
Maxine Feldstein, 30, pleaded guilty on Monday to several charges, including criminal impersonation, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison at a courtroom in Arkansas,Mailonline reports.
However half of her sentence was suspended by the judge, meaning she will serve 15 years.
Feldstein presented false paperwork to the Washington County Detention Center in July 2018, which fooled jailers into releasing her boyfriend Nicholas Lowe in July 27.
It took the Ventura facility two days to figure out they had been duped by the fake deputy, named ‘L. Kershaw’ they had liaised with on the phone.
They only figured it out when a real Ventura County Sheriff’s Office deputy made the call to say he was coming to collect Lowe.
The couple were later arrested in Fayetteville about a month after the incident.
