(KNZA)--The former maintenance supervisor for the city of Troy, convicted of the theft of city property, has been placed on probation and ordered to pay more than $37,000 restitution.

Dustin Ferris was sentenced Wednesday in Doniphan County District Court on a charge of felony theft.

He was given a suspended 7 month prison term and placed on 12 months supervised probation.

Ferris pleaded no contest to the charge in June.  In exchange for the plea, two additional charges were dismissed.

Ferris was arrested in October of last year following an investigation by Elwood Police Chief Larry Hunsaker.

He had been a city employee in Troy since October 2014.
