A former pastor on Camano Island pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing money from local churches and Oso mudslide survivors.
Gary
Joseph Ray, 57, entered the plea Nov. 12 for three counts of
first-degree theft with aggravating circumstances, according to Island
County court records. Ray was charged on Oct. 5, 2018, and his case was
expected to go to trial Tuesday, Nov. 19.
He
is scheduled to be sentenced in Island County Superior Court in
February. The standard sentencing range for each county is three to nine
months in jail, however, the Island County Prosecutors Office is
recommending a sentence of 12 months plus one day, which would send Ray
to prison instead of jail, according to court documents.
