Matthew-Green returned to court Tuesday, June 22, 2021, for sentencing and was sentenced to 30 years in prison and was not given credit for the time she spent out on bond while wearing an ankle monitor, officials added.

“We are thankful that the jury returned a verdict that held Ms. Matthews-Green accountable for her actions.

Jack Johnson and the Horry County Police Department, the North Myrtle Beach Department of Public Safety, and SLED for a job well done.”
