Former Milton Mayor Guy Thompson has been sentenced to 51 months in prison. Between 2011 and 2018, the 66-year-old Thompson embezzled more than $650,000 from the organization formerly known as United Way of Santa Rosa County and pleaded guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion. Thompson served the city of Milton for 36 years as both a city councilman and as mayor. After the thefts came to light United Way Worldwide cut all ties with the Santa Rosa County organization, and ordered them to stop using the United Way name and logo. The organization stopped accepting and distributing donations, no longer has a staff, sold its buildings and has all but dissolved.
