Former Real Estate Commission vice chairman sentenced to jail, court supervision for theft

The former vice chairman of the state Real Estate Commission was sentenced Friday to 10 years of court supervision, including six months in jail, for embezzling more than $200,000 from Hilo clients.

Scott Alan Sherley, 54, pleaded no contest Dec. 11 to first-degree theft. As part of a plea agreement, a similar charge will be dropped against Sherley’s 53-year-old wife, Penny Sherley, aka Penny Honda.

Shirley will be allowed a two-year period before reporting to serve his jail sentence, because Penny Sherley is seriously ill, according to Deputy Prosecutor Rick Damerville.

“We can move it up if the situation changes with to respect to his wife,” Damerville said.
