LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - The former president of a nonprofit Lawrence arts organization has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor after stealing from the group.
Thirty-six-year-old Amanda Monaghan was scheduled to go to trial Monday for felony theft after more than $1,000 was stolen from the Lawrence Art Guild in April 2014.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports Monaghan instead entered a no contest plea to misdemeanor theft. She will be sentenced Monday.
Judge Kay Huff said she plans to order Monaghan to repay $1,125 to the guild.
Prosecutors say Monaghan used the organization’s bank account for personal expenses, including a payment for her daughter’s preschool tuition at the Lawrence Arts Center.
