Embezzling $1,800 from the DEA will cost a former employee one year of probation and 50 hours of community service, the Tribune-Review reports.

U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose delivered the sentenced Monday to Holly Cook, 43, of Monongahela, Pa.

Cook pleaded guilty in May to taking $1,800 from a locked cash box of drug enforcement funds, the Tribune-Review reported.

“I will never forgive myself for allowing a momentary lapse in judgment to define the rest of my life,” she said in court.
