BUTTE — A Butte woman who pleaded guilty earlier this fall to embezzling over $30,000 from a nonprofit that helps people fleeing from domestic violence was sentenced in District Court on Thursday, December 12.
Amy Shulte told the court in October that she mistakenly moved a large sum of money from an investment account for Safe Space while she was the vice president of the board of directors.
Shulte presented a check for $32,000 to the court. At her sentencing hearing on Thursday, she submitted an additional check to the court for over $4,000.
Shulte received a one-year deferred sentence. If she abides by the conditions of probation for a year, no sentence will be imposed.
