A judge has yet again delayed a change-plea hearing for a Coquille woman accused of looting a high school graduation party fund. Gwen Sherbondy’s attorney will be seeking a settlement with the Coos County district attorney.

On Friday, attorney Ronald Cox of the Southwestern Oregon Public Defender Services Inc., asked Judge Michael Gillespie for a final extension on a change-plea hearing for his client. The 46-year-old woman is charged on first-degree aggravated theft, stemming from the embezzlement of about $11,000 from Coquille High School’s Project Graduation fund.

“We’re working on a potential settlement,” Cox said. “We’re just going back and forth at this point.”

He noted that District Attorney R. Paul Frasier was absent Friday, so Cox needed more time to discuss the settlement.

Gillespie set Sherbondy’s third change-plea hearing at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Sherbondy has another date with a judge on Sept. 21, when she’ll appear in federal court on one count of federal bank robbery. Investigators says she’s the suspect in the Roseburg Wells Fargo bank robbery on Feb. 24.

Cox, who had delayed past hearings so he could discuss a unified settlement with federal defender Mark Weintraub, said he is no longer trying to unify her state and federal charges. He said the federal prosecutor wasn’t interested.
