Hall County Solicitor General Stephanie Woodard has pleaded guilty to unlawfully acquiring funds from Hall County and the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia (PAC) to cover personal and unrelated expenses.
In June, Attorney General Chris Carr announced a multi-count indictment against Woodard, composed of theft, false statements and writings.

“Mrs. Woodard took advantage of our state by violating the same laws that she was elected to uphold,” Carr said. “She has now been held accountable for her actions. Our office will always follow the law, the facts and the evidence to ensure justice for all Georgians.”
Officials say Woodard used unauthorized funds to cover personal expenses from July 2018 to Sept. 2022. The indictment also alleges that Woodard got reimbursed for travel expenses she had already submitted or for travel that never happened.
