A Casper woman accused of stealing money from her employer will avoid a jail sentence.

Shawna Chavez was placed on one-to-five years of probation after pleading no contest to one count of larceny, in a case where prosecutors claim she stole money from Christina's...a wedding and prom dress business in Casper.

Investigators say that from July 2010 through January of 2011, there were a number of times when Chavez, a manager at the time, was the last one in the store after it closed for the day, and there were a number of customer contracts that were not recorded in the daily sales tickets.

Around four-thousand dollars was discovered missing during that time, and Chavez has been ordered to repay all of that.
