Unalaska, AK – Cindy Gay Jones pleaded guilty to one charge of theft in the second degree from the Unalaska Senior Citizens on Thursday. The other 11 charges against her, including five counts of forgery, have been dismissed.

In July, Shirley Marquardt, who serves on Unalaska Senior Citizens' board, reported that funds had been stolen from the center's accounts. When interviewed, Jones admitted to stealing over $8,000 to buy cocaine. She wrote checks to herself and others from the Senior Center's account and forged Lynn Lewis's signature. A $500 check was made to Diamond Taxi for cocaine as well.

As part of the plea bargain Jones will repay the Unalaska Senior Citizens just under $7,600 plus interest accrued at a rate of 3.5% starting today. The sentence is suspended for 30 months. She must also undergo a drug and alcohol assessment and cannot be caught with any drugs in her system or drug paraphernalia in her possession. She will not serve any jail time.

Correction: This article previously suggested that Jones had taken money from the Father Gromoff Senior Center.
