RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A former South Dakota state senator has pleaded no contest to making a false domestic violence report against her ex-husband.
A magistrate judge Monday gave Lyndi DiSanto a suspended 90-day jail sentence, which means she would only serve the time if she violates terms of her probation.
Judge Todd Hyronimus granted a request by DiSanto’s attorney for a suspended imposition of sentence which allows defendants to have their first conviction sealed if they successfully complete their sentence.
DiSanto was also ordered to pay a $250 fine. Defense attorney Robert Pasqualucci entered the plea on DiSanto’s behalf.
While on probation, DiSanto will also have to abide by a no contact order against the wife of a missing Wyoming man. A judge said DiSanto had been stalking the woman.
