COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ― A former cashier with Colorado Springs Utilities has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $300,000 over a nearly four-year period. Donna Inzer, 69, appeared in court Monday and entered her plea to a felony theft charge. An agreement with prosecutors calls for Inzer to be able to avoid prison time if she successfully makes restitution and completes 14 years of probation. Formal sentencing is scheduled for June 30. Inzer was a 35-year employee. She admitted that she took money from utility payments, then altered the daily balances so the thefts wouldn't be detected when deposits were made. She left her job in February 2007, but utility officials won't say if she was fired. Inzer is free on $75,000 bond
