Ex-Girl Scout Leader Gets Probation For Theft
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - A former St. Joseph Girl Scout troop leader will serve 10 days in jail and be on three years of probation for stealing cookie money from her troop.
Twenty-three-year-old Stephanie Morris admitted in May that she stole $3,522 from her St. Joseph troop's bank account and cookie money.
She was sentenced on Thursday.
Prosecutors recommended probation because Morris had no prior criminal history.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports Morris has already paid $450 and will start a new job in July.
Her attorney said Morris was in financial trouble when she took the money.
