The former general manager of a Kidder Township resort will serve 30 days house arrest for impersonating a liquor control officer.

Amy Lewis, 43, of Edwardsville, forged emails that looked like they were from the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement to justify firing two employees at Mountain Laurel Resort, and suspending another.

During her sentencing on Thursday, Lewis said she was acting on her employer’s instructions.

“My boss told me to do what I had to do,” she said.

The fake report said that a bar at Mountain Laurel violated state liquor laws for allowing a 2- to 3-year-old child in the bar on Jan. 24.

Lewis then suspended a server whose child was reportedly in the bar, and fired her two managers.

Police were told of the fake report and interviewed Lewis. She said she thought it was created by two different former employees, who had also been fired, and were trying to get back at her.

Lewis said that when the resort hired her, they instructed her to “clean house” to help turn it around, and she fired several employees.

Police gave Lewis a polygraph test, and she admitted to creating a domain and email account to make the fake report.

Records from GoDaddy.com LLC showed that the domain was registered by Lewis’ husband about three weeks after the alleged incident with the child in the bar.

Judge Joseph J. Matika also ordered Lewis to 12 months probation and 50 hours community service, and to stay off the Mountain Laurel property until her sentence is complete.
