A Pagedale alderman has been sentenced to two years on probation after pleading guilty to two counts of making a false declaration involving inspections on rental property from her family business.

If Darline Crawley, 77, of the 1800 block of Ferguson Avenue, violates the terms she could face six months in jail.

Crawley, a former Pagedale mayor, current alderman and longtime landlord in St. Louis County, was originally charged in 2018 with two counts of forgery. The felony cases were officially reduced to misdemeanors.

Josi Nielsen, a spokeswoman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, said the plea arrangement was reached Oct. 25, 2018, but didn’t become official until Crawley pleaded guilty in a hearing March 15 before St. Louis County Circuit Judge Nellie Ribaudo.

“This was set up under the previous administration and a combination of factors prevented the plea from being entered until now,” Nielsen said.

She said the factors included the holidays and attorneys being ill.
