The man who pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from Penn State University was admitted to Centre County jail this morning following his sentencing.

Clinton Teeter will spend between 11 1/2 months and 23 1/2 months in jail - followed by five years of probation - for property he stole from Rec Hall, the Nittany Landscape Building, the Physical Plant Building and Noll Lab between Nov. 24, 2004 and November 2005.

Teeter was sentenced concurrently on 23 counts, meaning he will serve the sentence for all crimes at the same time.

Centre County Assistant District Attorney Steve Sloane said at the hearing that a plea deal was reached with Teeter after he cooperated with Penn State University police in closing the theft cases.

He said the university and university police both endorsed the plea arrangement.

Tim Fleming, Teeter's attorney, said that Teeter finished an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program prior to his sentencing.

Fleming had said at Teeter's first sentencing hearing in September that Teeter was ready and willing to serve his time.

"He understands and takes responsibility for his actions and recognizes that he had a problem and he has to deal with it," Fleming said.
