Kelly Marie Cox, 44, of Glouster, pleaded guilty to a single count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity at a hearing on Wednesday. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 11 years in prison.

As part of the agreement, Cox would be subject to possible additional charges if she violates the terms of the arrangement.
