DEER LODGE - A 31-year-old Deer Lodge woman has pleaded guilty to forgery for stealing about $160,000 from the Powell County Ambulance Service while she worked as treasurer.

Michelle Boese pleaded guilty Tuesday before District Judge Ray Dayton. As part of the plea agreement, an embezzlement charge will be dropped. A sentencing date has not been set.

Boese was accused of forging checks totaling nearly $157,000 and charging $3,700 worth of gasoline to the ambulance company's fuel account.

Boese was treasurer for the ambulance service from December 2007 to September 2009.
