NEW YORK (AP) — The wife of Monkees vocalist Micky Dolenz will serve five days of community service for defrauding a housing program in New York City.
Authorities in the city's Department of Investigation charged Donna Quinter on Friday with illegally receiving nearly $137,000 in government rental subsidies for her Manhattan apartment.
The subsidies were supposed to go to middle-income families.
Investigators say Quinter wasn't eligible because she was sharing the apartment with a friend and had another home with Dolenz and in a gated community outside Los Angeles.
Quinter was arrested Friday, booked, and then pleaded guilty and was sentenced just hours later in a Manhattan court. She also paid back the $137,000.
Her lawyer didn't immediately return a phone message.
