Former coffee shop manager jailed for stealing nearly $28K

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former coffee shop manager in Lincoln has been given a year in jail and ordered to pay $15,000 restitution.

Lancaster County District Court records show 32-year-old Aubrey Kinnett was sentenced Friday. She'd pleaded no contest to misdemeanor theft after prosecutors lowered the charge from a felony.

The owner of the Scooter's Coffee shop reported the theft in June 2017. Police say she embezzled nearly $28,000 between August 2016 and June 2017.
