Plattsburgh, New York - November 18, 2009

The former Town Supervisor in Peru, N.Y., will not go to prison.

Donald Covel, 60, was convicted of official misconduct in July. The charges stemmed from Covel firing a code enforcement officer without authorization and issuing permits to his wife and her business-- Frosty Springs Bottling.

Covel had been the Town Supervisor in Peru for three years but lost his job following the conviction.

Covel maintains his innocence and plans to appeal.

Wednesday a judge asked Covel to pay $525 in court fees and said he will not face any fines or jail time as long as he stays out of trouble for a year. He also can't hold public office for a year.
