Brandi Montague, who worked for River City Pull Tabs, is scheduled for sentencing in June.

The 32-year-old Soldotna woman agreed to pay $12,000 in restitution as part of her plea agreement last week.

She also will serve 30 days in jail and undergo a substance abuse evaluation.

Montague was originally charged with first-degree theft after an audit showed an unexplained loss at the pull-tab business, owned by the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce.

According to court papers, Montague said she used the money to support her addiction to painkillers and would rip the pull tabs and cash out any winnings.
