MORRIS, Minn. — The Morris Area School District's former Director of Buildings and Grounds has pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property and could face up to a year in jail, a $3,000 fine or both.
David Stoffer of Hancock, who resigned from his position in the district on June 13, pleaded guilty to the charge Monday. Stoffer's lawyer, Jeff Kuhn, asked that the sentence be lowered to up to 15 days in jail with restitution of $650 and probation.
Missing computer equipment and a video of Stoffer leaving the school with a computer prompted the investigation.
After executing two separate search warrants of Stoffer's residence, Morris police officers recovered $2,864 dollars worth of school district equipment in Stoffer's possession: two HP Compaq computers valued at $200 and $560 each, a ProTeam vacuum cleaner worth $395, Dewalt nailers valued at $250, a Makita drill and charger worth $50 and assorted computer parts, cleaning supplies, tools and other smaller value items.
