'A West Milford woman and her Wanaque co-defendant were sentenced Friday to five years' probation and $20,000 in restitution for making a false domestic violence complaint that landed the father of her child in jail for 18 days, the Record reported.
Jeanette Crowley, 53, and John DeWitt, 55, both apologized to Michael Stitt in Passaic County Superior Court.
Police arrested Stitt in September 2011 in front of his then 9-year-old son based on an allegation by Crowley that he stalked and assaulted her. Prosecutors later obtained evidence that the allegations were false and charged Crowley and DeWitt with perjury and providing false information to police.'
