Man Gets Probation from Stealing from York Jaycees

gavel-and-scaleYORK, Neb. (AP) — A 35-year-old man who was convicted of stealing more than $1,400 from the York Jaycees has been given two years of probation and conditional jail time.

Travis Stuhr was sentenced earlier this week on four misdemeanor counts of theft. He’d pleaded no contest after making a deal with prosecutors. In addition to the probation, Stuhr was given 180 days in jail, which can be waived by a judge if Stuhr abides by the terms of his probation.

Prosecutors say Stuhr, of York, had access to the Jaycees checking account because he was supposed to pay bills from a demolition derby the group sponsored. York County Attorney Candace Dick says Stuhr wrote four checks to himself totaling $1,430. She also says restitution has been paid.
