Antique store owner pleads guilty to theft in Kansas

DERBY, Kan. (AP) — The owner of an antique store in Derby has pleaded guilty to three counts of theft.

The Wichita Eagle reports Sandra Ostrander, owner of Derby Antiques and More, pleaded Monday. She agreed to reimburse more than $13,000 to clients as part of a plea bargain. In exchange, Ostrander agreed to a recommendation that she be placed on probation and be allowed to live in Georgia.

According to Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett, Ostrander was ordered not to own or operate any business in Kansas as part of the plea deal.

Bennett says Ostrander sold items on consignment and was accused of taking money from the sales of those items without forwarding the corresponding payments to the people who provided the goods for sale.
