FORT EDWARD -- The former manager of a local dollar store has been sentenced to up to 3 years in state prison for stealing nearly $20,000 from the store.
Luther R. Jeffries, of White Birch Estates, pleaded guilty to third-degree grand larceny, a felony, for the 2006 theft from Family Dollar in 2006.
Police said he stole four nights worth of night deposits, then stopped showing up for work. Store officials determined $19,790 had been stolen, and contacted police.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office got an arrest warrant for Jeffries, but was unable to locate him until receiving calls from people who believed he was involved in a stock scam and saw that there was an arrest warrant listed for him on the Sheriff's Office website.
No charges were filed in the stock case, in which he was soliciting investment in a venture to provide assistance to growers of medical marijuana.
Washington County Judge Kelly McKeighan imposed a 1- to 3-year prison term. Jeffries will be required to make restitution as well.
