BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo woman has pleaded guilty to being in possession of merchandise that was looted during the blizzard.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office says Dean was found with stolen property, which included sneakers, hats and shorts. The value of the items is estimated at $1,000. The items were taken from a store on the 2800 block of Bailey Avenue when it was looted on December 25. The store was closed due to the weather.
Dean was sentenced to serve 100 hours of community service, which must be completed in six months and must be served in the neighborhood where the looting occured. A no-contact order of protection was issued on behalf of the store owner.
