Saskatchewan woman pleads guilty to mischief; tried to fake husband’s death
SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — A Saskatchewan woman who along with her husband tried to fake his death has received a six-month conditional sentence that includes four months of house arrest.
Michelle Ross of Swift Current pleaded guilty on Monday to public mischief and to obstructing a police officer.
Her husband, John Malcolm Ross, pleaded guilty to the same charges last fall and was sentenced to three months in jail.
Court heard Ross believed if police thought he was dead, he would avoid prosecution on outstanding sex charges in Manitoba.
