SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota man who has been convicted of stealing money from the basketball tournament board where he served as treasurer has been sentenced to four years of probation.

Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler announced Wednesday that Leland Logg of Howes must also pay $7,583.15 in restitution.

Logg was convicted of larceny after pleading guilty to stealing from the bank account of the Dakota Oyate Challenge Basketball Tournament Board.

As treasurer, Logg, 38, took $7,583.00 from the organization by writing himself and others checks from the board’s bank account.

Authorities say Logg used the funds to pay personal expenses.
