OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 41-year-old Iowa woman has pleaded guilty to stealing federal funds while managing property in northeast Nebraska’s South Sioux City.

Melissa Edwards, of Sioux City, entered her plea Monday to a charge of theft of government money. She’s scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 9.

Prosecutors say Edwards stole more than $150,000 by altering and forging checks to real and fake Housing and Urban Development tenants. Prosecutors say Edwards deposited more than 500 falsified checks and forged Section 8 checks into her bank account from October 2011 to October 2013.

In August Edwards was placed on probation in Iowa’s Woodbury County District Court after pleading guilty to second-degree theft for stealing more than $8,000 while manager of a Sioux City apartment complex.
