Former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was sentenced to a $5,000 fine Wednesday for helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest last year but avoided prison time in her criminal case.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointee, declined to give Dugan a prison sentence or probation, saying he did not believe it was a necessary punishment for someone who “who made a bad decision in the moment.” Dugan was convicted by a federal jury in December on a felony obstruction charge.
