Former hospital CEO sentenced for failing to disclose gift

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A former Pine Ridge Indian Health Service administrator has been sentenced for failing to disclose a $5,000 gift from a pediatrician.

The South Dakota U.S. attorney’s office says 60-year-old Wehnona Stabler, of Nebraska, has been sentenced to 12 months of unsupervised probation. She was charged in June 2017.

Authorities say Stabler, while a Pine Ridge IHS employee, made a false statement in 2014 on a financial disclosure report about the payment from Dr. Stanley Patrick Weber.

Weber has been indicted for sex abuse of minors while he was a pediatrician at the Pine Ridge hospital.
