A Mission woman working as a Rosebud Sioux Tribe court staffer has pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing $4,000 from the tribe.
Forty-two-year-old Patricia Rose Thin Elk was a tribal court clerk and bondsman when she stole at least $1,000 from the tribe between 2006 and 2008.
Prosecutors say she also goes by the name Patricia Rose Jones.
The maximum punishment is five years in prison and a fine.
