Mason City woman accused of stealing money from store over two-year period to plead guilty
MASON CITY — A plea change hearing has been scheduled for a Mason City woman charged with ongoing criminal conduct and theft charges after being accused of stealing money over a two-year period from a convenience store.
A criminal complaint says that between May 2023 and April of this year, 32-year-old Crysta Robinson would allegedly make false refunds through the store and then either pocket the cash or use the cash for fuel in her vehicle. The complaint says Robinson did this at least 35 times during that two-year period.
Robinson was charged with ongoing criminal conduct, a Class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison, as well as second-degree theft, a Class D felony.
Robinson in late May pleaded not guilty to the charges and was scheduled to be tried on July 29th, but court records show a plea change hearing has now been scheduled for August 4th in Cerro Gordo County District Court.
