NORWALK — Mayor David Light says the trial of Ashli Ford may be over, but the damage she caused — and the danger he believes she still poses — remain.

Ford, convicted last month of threatening four public officials, was sentenced Aug. 18 to three years of probation and a suspended nine-month jail term. For Light, who testified during the trial, the sentence was disappointing.

Ford and supporters celebrated outside the courthouse after she was sentenced to probation on Aug. 18 in this photo posted at Facebook.
