Mark Messmore, former Saline High School teacher charged with 22 counts of fraud and identity theft, has agreed to a plea deal allowing him to avoid jail.
Messmore, 33, faced 16 felony charges after a Saline Police Department investigation accused him of using a Saline woman's name to rack up more than $53,000 in credit card charges and to buy a Mercedes Benz. At a pre-trial hearing in front of Judge Archie Brown Wednesday Messmore pled no contest to two of the charges - identity theft and possession of a fraudulent transaction device. The victim was his ex-girlfriend and former employee he first met when teaching at Saline High School.
He will agree to pay restitution on all counts at sentencing.
The other case, investigated by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, involved a Dexter woman. He was charged with six counts of identity theft and fraud and pled guilty to two charges of identity theft and using a computer to commit a crime.
Sentencing is set for Sept.23.
Messmore is a former teacher at Saline Area Schools. He was fired in 2017.

Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
