Althea Jackson and her husband James Jackson on Thursday were each sentenced to 30 months in prison by US District Judge Orlando Garcia in San Antonio for their roles in the theft and resale of more than 5,600 ticket vouchers from Southwest Airlines, resulting in a loss to Southwest of $800,000. The Jacksons pleaded guilty to wire fraud on February 12. Our earlier coverage (here and here) details the involvement of public officials who bought tickets; those who did have all stated that they had no knowledge that the tickets were stolen. It’s not known if the investigation is still open (Express-News, DOJ).
