ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - Authorities say a woman who admitted to stealing from the Boys & Girls Club of Aberdeen Area has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor petty theft.
The plea agreement requires Janet Pistulka, 59, of Aberdeen, to pay back $16,000 before sentencing, the American News reports. She will receive a 30-day suspended jail sentence and be ordered to pay a $288 fine.
Brown County Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Ernest Thompson said he agreed to the plea agreement because it was in the best interest of the Boys & Girls Club, which would get immediate reimbursement for its loss as opposed to receiving payments over a period of time after sentencing.
Pistulka was a volunteer for the Boys & Girls Club who helped out with beer sales at the grandstand during the Brown County Fair.
