According to court records, Esquibel was also sentenced to pay $1,100.50 in fines and court costs.

Esquibel was originally charged with one count of forgery and a second count of recording a false or forged public document. Both of those cases were dismissed by the prosecutor during plea bargaining.

The charges were filed in March 2008 after family members informed Cassia County Sheriff's detectives that Esquibel had forged documents to transfer ownership of a Burley home, owned jointly by herself and her husband Augustin Esquibel, to herself and her daughter Gaynol Berber.

Berber was not charged in the incident.

Augustin Esquibel filed for divorce from Esquibel in January 2008 and that case has not yet made its way through the court system.

Esquibel has been involved in advocating Latino rights statewide as well as in Mini-Cassia for decades, serving as the chairwoman of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs as well as working with the Mexican Legal Defense and Education Fund. She was also a delegate at the Republican National Convention in 2004.

Augustin Esquibel has filed as a Democratic write-in candidate for the Cassia County Sheriff's seat in the November election.
