Former Elmore County Coroner Tim Ellison learned today that he’ll spend a few months in the Elmore County Jail due to his conviction on felony ethics and theft charges.

Ellison, who was elected to multiple terms as the county’s coroner, was sentenced Wednesday morning in Elmore County Circuit Court to four years for the ethics violation, four years for second-degree theft and 12 months for third-degree theft.  The sentences were partially suspended, and he was ordered to serve nine months in jail followed by 24 months of supervised probation. His name was recently removed from the funeral home business which he long maintained within sight of the Elmore County Jail on U.S. Highway 231.
