The Department of Motor Vehicles system is currently down statewide due to a Shared Technology Services data center outage.

Therefore the vehicle registration services provided by the Montague County Tax Assessor-Collector's Office are also off-line, reports TAC Kathy Phillips.

Once the state gets its system up, Mrs. Phillips' office will be able to resume vehicle registration services.

The 6 man, 6 woman jury sentenced Ms Hall to 3 years community service (probation) and ordered her to pay a fine of $9,166.67 on the third degree felony charge of theft of public funds.
