Weather Delays Sentencing In Mercer County Booster Club Theft Case

The Mercer County State’s Attorney’s office confirming that an Aledo woman’s formal sentencing hearing in a booster club theft case has been pushed back to next month. 44 year old Angie Dellitt’s hearing was set for today, but because of inclement weather the matter is being continued to February 5th.   As part of a negotiated plea announced last month, she was ordered to pay the Mercer County Athletic Booster Club $50,000 in restitution. She pleaded guilty to a Class 2 felony of theft—alleging unauthorized control of between $10,000 and $100,000 and using the said funds for hotel rooms, restaurants, meals and other personal items.  A similar Class 2 felony theft charge involving the Mercer County School District was dismissed as part of the agreement. Dellitt will also be placed on 30-months’ probation and serve 20 days in the Mercer County Jail with the balance of a 120-day jail term stayed as long as she complies with terms of the sentencing, which includes a mental health evaluation. $20,000 of the restitution has already been paid, according to Mercer County State’s Attorney Meeghan Lee. Dellitt was arrested last August and has been free on $30,000 bond. She formerly served as both the booster club’s treasurer and the school district’s bookkeeper.
