By: Jennifer Saucedo
Bernie Morin, 54, who is the former maintenance and operations director at Northside I.S.D., was sentenced for bribery.
A judge gave Morin five years deferred adjudication, a form of probation.
Over the summer, Morin was indicted for bribery.
Investigators say Morin took $25,000.00 in bribes from a company that sold equipment to the district.
"I am very sorry that I've pain so many people," Morin told the judge during his sentencing hearing. "I'm very remorseful of what has taken place."
Under a plea deal, Morin faced five years in prison.
He pleaded "no contest" to the bribery charge.
"Mr. Morin has tremendous remorse for what has occurred here," said Morin's attorney Loraine Efron. "He's suffered enormous consequence personally, financially."
If Morin violates any terms of his probation, he may face the full range of punishment which is two to twenty years in prison.
