PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Hermosa man has been sentenced to three years of probation for stealing from the federal government.

Authorities say 37-year-old Tobin Nettifee took a chain saw, firefighting equipment, radios, flight gear, microphones, a power generator and power tools from the National Park Service between June 2010 and August 2014.

U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says Nettifee was a Park Service employee and did not return the items upon leaving employment. Seiler says Nettifee also later stole a chain saw from a U.S. Forest Service pickup truck and pawned it in Rapid City.

Nettifee pleaded guilty to theft of government property last August and was sentenced this month. He also was ordered to pay $800 in restitution.
