OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha woman who sold thousands of worthless airline vouchers and has been sentenced to federal prison has pleaded no contest to two charges in the case.

The Omaha World-Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2kxZVWw ) that Patricia Urbanovsky entered the plea Friday in Douglas County District Court to two counts of theft. In exchange, another theft count was dropped. Urbanovsky faces up to 40 years in prison when she’s sentenced in May.

Urbanovsky was sentenced on Monday to just more than five years in federal prison for wire fraud in the case.

Urbanovsky was the owner of Creative Creations in Omaha. Authorities say she ran a scheme to sell discounted airline travel vouchers, most of which turned out to be worthless.
