Fort Pierre Woman Pleads Guilty to Embezzlement | Pierre News

A Fort Pierre woman, Dusti Deal, 48, has pleaded guilty to grand theft by embezzlement for stealing over $50,000 from the Community Youth Involved Center between 2022 and 2024. She admitted using the center’s debit card for personal purchases and apologized in writing to the board. Facing up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, Deal is seeking a suspended sentence and remains out on bond. Her sentencing is set for October 21 after a pre-sentence report is reviewed — a case that underscores the high stakes of financial betrayal in community-focused nonprofits.
