Arkansas pregnancy center's ex-exec sentenced for theft of funds

FORT SMITH -- The former director of a pregnancy support center has been ordered in Sebastian County Circuit Court to pay $53,000 in restitution for money she admitted stealing from the center over a 10-month period.

Daphne Haas, 42, pleaded guilty last week to one count of theft. Court records showed that she was given a 10-year suspended sentence and was ordered to pay $53,000 in restitution, with $50,000 of it to be paid last Wednesday.

The remaining $3,000 would be paid over time along with a $2,500 fine and $150 in court costs, court records showed.
