Woman who stole millions from Dennis Rodman and others released from jail

Peggy Ann Fulford, 65, was given a 10-year sentence in 2018 for stealing millions of dollars pretending to be a financial adviser

A woman who admitted to stealing millions of dollars from Dennis Rodman, Ricky Williams and other professional athletes has been released early from the 10-year prison sentence she had been handed in 2018.

Peggy Ann Fulford, 65, served part of the punishment at a low-security federal prison in Aliceville, Alabama, which is about 45 miles west of Tuscaloosa. The US bureau of prisons then released her on 27 April to a halfway home program in Orlando, Florida, which is administered by the government, an agency spokesperson said in a statement on Monday.
