Former Tennessee State Sen. Katrina Robinson , who represented parts of Memphis, has been resentenced for misrepresentations made to the Health Resources and Services Administration, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Tennessee.
She was resentenced to time served and also imposed a fine of $48,600. Her original sentencing in 2022 was a sentence of time served — meaning no prison time — and one year of supervised release, according to previous reporting from The Commercial Appeal.
Robinson was the founder and director of The Healthcare Institute which received $2.2 million in federal grants between 2015 and 2019. THI was for-profit and provided educational and training programs for jobs in the healthcare field.
In 2021, Robinson was found guilty of two counts of wire fraud for using money from THI’s operating account for personal expenditures for her wedding. She was also found guilty of two counts of wire fraud for fraudulent misrepresentations made to HRSA when completing Annual Performance Review forms for the years 2017-2019.
