Former 3rd Ward Alderman Dorothy Tillman was found guilty today of criminal trespassing in Montgomery, Alabama stemming from a March incident at a hospital. Tillman, who is from Montgomery, was visiting an elderly aunt at Jackson Hospital and became "very disorderly" when the hospital would not turn over her aunt's records on demand, telling Tillman they first needed a written request. She was sentenced to $541 in fines and 10-day jail sentence which was suspended.
