KEENE, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) – A Keene woman has been sentenced after pleading guilty to multiple misdemeanor charges in connection with separate incidents earlier this year that involved damage to local businesses.
In Cheshire Superior Court Monday, Kelli Tedford pleaded guilty to all six counts of criminal mischief, all misdemeanors. Prosecutors had originally filed a felony charge, but it was reduced as part of a plea agreement.
Judge Anne Edwards sentenced Tedford to 360 in jail with 180 days, half of that sentence, suspended for three years. Under the terms of the sentence, she could face additional jail time if she commits another crime within that period. Upon her release, Tedford will serve two years of probation.
The charges stem from incidents at the Monadnock Food Co-Op and the Marriott Keene on Railroad Street. Authorities say Tedford caused damage that included urinating on food and hotel property. As part of her sentence, she is banned from entering both businesses and has been ordered to pay more than $10,000 in restitution to cover losses.
Police previously indicated that videos recovered during the investigation suggest other similar incidents may have occurred in the area over several years, but no additional charges have been filed.
