VERNON, Conn. (AP) A Vernon man who faced up to seven years in prison on prescription drug fraud charges and accusations he moved $73,000 of federal aid into his and others' accounts while working at the University of Connecticut has avoided prison time.

The Journal Inquirer reports that former UConn student trustee Corey M. Schmitt will remain on probation three years following his sentencing last week. He pleaded guilty to attempted larceny and prescription drug fraud-related charges.

The 25-year-old Schmitt must maintain employment, but not at a financial aid office or doctor's office.

An investigation showed he made unauthorized account transfers while working in the school's student financial aid office. It was determined he paid himself $2,200 and moved the remaining money into the accounts of six other students.

Police say the money was recovered.
