(KNZA)--A Whiting woman has been convicted of the theft of funds from the Whiting Fire Department.
According to court documents, Jodi Folk pleaded no contest last week in Jackson County District Court to a misdemeanor charge of theft as part of a plea deal.
In exchange for the plea, a charge of criminal use of a financial card was dismissed.
Folk had originally been charged with a felony count of misuse of public funds.
Sentencing was set for May 24
Folk was charged in connection with an alleged incident in August of last year involving a financial card issued to the Whiting Fire Department.
The charges were filed following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
