PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A Rapid City man has been sentenced to a year in federal prison for stealing from a program that provides legal services to low-income people including on American Indian reservations in the Dakotas.
Authorities allege 56-year-old Kevin Lewis embezzled nearly $25,000 while working as an attorney for Dakota Plains Legal Services between 2014 and 2017. He was fired about a year ago.
Lewis agreed to plead guilty to a theft charge in a deal with prosecutors. The U.S. attorney’s office says he was ordered to pay restitution.
