BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -A Birmingham woman charged with filing false federal disaster relief claims in the aftermath of the April 27, 2011 tornadoes and using part of the $12,840 she got to buy a Mercedes-Benz won't spend any more time in federal custody under her sentence imposed this week.

Pamela Denise Desmond, 50, was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Blackburn to the time she had already served in federal custody based on her guilty plea to wire fraud and theft of government property. Since she was charged in 2012 Desmond had served about two and a half months in federal custody for mental evaluations.

Blackburn also ordered Desmond to serve three years under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office and to pay restitution. Other counts of the indictment against Desmond were dismissed at the request of the U.S. Attorney's Office.

"We are pleased with the results," said Federal Public Defender Kevin Butler, whose office represented Desmond.

Desmond applied for FEMA disaster assistance in May 2011, falsely claiming that her primary home at 3325 Hickory Ave. SW and personal property had been damaged by the storm, according to the indictment. Desmond told a FEMA inspector that she did not live at the main house located at that address but in a metal shed at the rear of that property and that's where the loss of personal property had happened, the indictment states.

From May 2011 through September 2011, Desmond submitted letters and other documents asking FEMA for more or continued assistance, including money for motel rental, the indictment states.

Desmond submitted an estimate to FEMA for more than $10,000 to replace her lost teeth, and requested that FEMA reconsider the $5,174 the agency had already awarded her on June 21, 2011 for her dental work, according to the indictment.

Also Desmond, the indictment states, "did not inform FEMA that the $1,800.58 check FEMA had provided as assistance in June had instead been endorsed by her to an auto sales company to purchase a Mercedes S500."
