SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A western Iowa man has been sentenced to three years of probation for stealing nearly $15,000 from cash registers at Fleet Farm store in Sioux City. The Sioux City Journal reports that 22-year-old Robert Smith, of Bronson, received the sentence Tuesday after pleading guilty to a single count of first-degree theft. Smith was also ordered to pay $14,805 in restitution to Fleet Farm.

Prosecutors say Smith began taking cash from a register at the store on Sept. 30, 2018, shortly after the store opened, and continued to take money from registers on a daily basis. He was arrested Nov. 19, 2018.
