Circuit Court Judge Mark Jones on Thursday continued the third of Monique Acevedo's arraignments after the disgraced former Monroe County School District official didn't show up to enter a plea.</p><p>Neither did her attorney, Chief Public Defender Patricia Docherty, but prosecutor Mark Wilson was there at the Freeman Justice Center in Key West.</p><p>Acevedo was scheduled for arraignment on felony counts of grand theft of $100,000 or more, and fraud for illegally obtaining property worth $50,000 or more. Because she and her attorney weren't there, no plea was entered.</p><p>The charges relate to her using her School District credit card to buy personal goods such as groceries, luxury items and even men's suits.</p><p>Thursday, Jones ordered Acevedo to appear before him on Nov. 12 to attest to her continued "indigent" status, which makes her eligible to receive representation from the county Public Defender's Office.</p><p>To date since her first arrest in late April, Acevedo has been able to pony up $15,000 to get out of jail. Most recently, she was freed on $5,000 bond, and before that on $10,000.</p><p>During the latter go-around, her husband and former School District Superintendent Randy Acevedo went to court with an affidavit indicating the money was borrowed from friends and family.</p><p>Thursday, though, Jones said "unless Mrs. Acevedo is here, she doesn't qualify for a public defender."</p><p>In addition to the charges to which she was supposed to plead on Thursday, Monique Acevedo faces four other felonies related to theft from the School District.</p><p>State Attorney Dennis Ward says an informal offer is on the table to make all of the charges go away: Ten years in prison, restitution of several hundred thousand dollars, and an undetermined payment of fines and court costs.</p><p>Combined, all of the charges carry a maximum sentence of 130 years in prison if she's convicted.</p><p>She was first jailed on April 30, charged with grand theft and fraud. By then, she had quit her job. Prosecutors allege that when she was the School District adult education coordinator, she collected $201,424 in cosmetology and other class fees, but had deposited only $11,160 since 2005.</p><p>Then on Aug. 14, she surrendered on two more theft charges related to Key West High School fundraisers.</p><p>Randy Acevedo was arrested and then suspended by Gov. Charlie Crist in June, and convicted Aug. 28 of three felony counts of official misconduct for covering up his wife's alleged crimes. Jones gave him three years of probation, fined him $15,000 and ordered him to do eight hours of community service a month for three years.</p><p>He's appealing his conviction to the Third District Court of Appeal.
