Former Butte County State's Attorney Heather Plunkett, 31, has been sentenced for drug charges that led the governor to suspend her late last year.
Plunkett was given a 90-day suspended jail sentence and ordered to pay $861 in fines and fees on misdemeanor marijuana-related charges.
Plunkett and her husband were arrested Dec. 4 when the state Division of Criminal Investigation served a search warrant at their Belle Fourche home. Gov. Dennis Daugaard suspended her with pay and she later resigned. She pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges the day before Christmas.
