An Albia man has been sentenced to probation in connection to stealing nearly $8000 from the Pella Wal-Mart.

Chris Allen Hughes, 46, pled guilty to 2nd degree theft, a class D felony. According to court records, Hughes was arrested in June after the Pella Police Department received video from the store showing the defendant apparently stole cash straight from the registers. He received three years probation for the felony charge.
