Indiana Circ Clerk Pleads Guilty to TheftA former part-time circulation clerk of the St. Joseph County (Ind.) Public Library pleaded guilty March 5 to the felony theft of 2,768 books, videotapes, CDs, and videodiscs from the library between April 1998 and August 2001. Carol Jaworski was fired last August after the thefts were discovered and she was indicted two months later. Jaworski’s lawyer William Stanley obtained a plea agreement that calls for the case to be treated as a misdemeanor and a sentence of probation for a year and payment of a restitution to the library, according to the March 6 South Bend Tribune. Stanley pointed out that nearly all the materials had been returned to the library, and he estimated that restitution would involve only a “couple of thousand dollars” for transportation costs. Most of the materials were recovered from the homes of Jaworski’s adult daughters in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Phoenix, Arizona, while others were found in her home in South Bend.
