State v. Herron

Leben, J.:

Laurie Herron appeals from the district court’s order requiring her to pay $6,864.10 in restitution to Oxford House to make amends for forging its checks and withdrawing money from its bank account without authorization. Herron argues that the district court abused its discretion by not considering that she only makes $680 per month before taxes and child support are subtracted when it ordered her to pay restitution and determined that repaying the full amount would be workable.

We agree. Herron certainly cannot pay $6,864 in restitution during the 18-month term of her probation.…
