FORT PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The former office manager of the Fort Pierre Development Corporation has admitted that she stole money from her former employer.

The Capital Journal ( ) reports that Joni Boub has pleaded guilty to one count of grand theft by embezzlement and two counts forgery. Forty-four counts of forgery were dropped as part of a plea agreement.

Boub was arrested after the Development Corporation discovered that she had been writing herself checks from the group’s bank account. She was accused of forging 46 checks and stealing more than $38,000 between July 2013 and November 2014.

Boub during her arraignment Tuesday told the presiding judge that she had “substantial” medical bills when she committed the crimes.

Boub faces up to 20 years in prison. A hearing was scheduled for April 28.
