A Libby man accused of taking tens of thousands of dollars to build fences for six Lincoln County residents recently pleaded guilty.
Steven Austin Quimby, 25, appeared in Lincoln County District Court on two occasions earlier this year and pleaded not guilty to several charges, including theft and check forgery.
But on Oct. 23, Quimby appeared in court to plead to felony theft and check forgery. Other charges were dropped in the plea deal between county Deputy Attorney Jeffrey Zwang and public defender Scott B. Johnson. The deal calls for two 5-year suspended sentences that would be served consecutively. The agreement also calls for Quimby to pay restitution to the victims in the amount of $28,957. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 11.
