Tuba City, Ariz. • A former manager of the Navajo Nation’s Tuba City Chapter has been sentenced to jail time and probation in a theft case.
Priscilla Littlefoot had pleaded no contest last year to charges stemming from the theft of more than $1 million in chapter funds.
A tribal judge recently sentenced her to more than five months in jail, followed by six months of probation. She also was ordered to repay the tribe $30,000.
Navajo Nation Attorney General Doreen McPaul says the closure of the case helps restore Navajos' trust in their government.
