A Kennewick woman pleaded guilty to taking her cousin's credit card and racking up $2,500 in charges.
Christina M. Forzaglia, 19, plead to one count of third-degree theft, reduced from first-degree identity theft.
Forzaglia reportedly made the charges between April 1 and July 2. The card's owner, who later questioned Forzaglia about the theft, did not give her cousin permission to use the card.
In court documents, prosecutors said they reduced the charge as part of a plea deal because Forzaglia had no prior criminal history and agreed to pay $1,000 up front in restitution. She still owes $1,000, documents show.
Prosecutors also said Forzaglia was "extremely cooperative" when first confronted by police, admitting she made the purchases and knew it was wrong.
Forzaglia was sentenced to two days in jail with 362 days suspended.
That means she might have to serve more time on this case if she violates any of her conditions or gets in trouble again in the next year. Otherwise, she can return to court next January to have the conviction vacated and dismissed.
