A former Warren County Airport manager has been spared jail time for stealing tens of thou-sands of dollars from the airport.The former manager, John Michael Patterson, 43, entered a no-contest plea before Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley on Wednesday afternoon to charges of felony theft and forgery. He was granted a three-year judicial diversion, meaning he can have his criminal record erased once his three years on probation are complete. Patterson will also be required to make restitution to three separate people and entities.
