Lakesha C. Johnson, 27, was sentenced to 18 months probation by a Chicago judge for stealing $9,000 from a poker player in February of last year. Lake County prosecutor Bernard Carter stated that she'll be paying $9,000 in restitution and performing 90 hours of community service as part of her punishment. Johnson failed to appear at the trial.

What happened? A poker pro playing at the Horseshoe Casino met and began to flirt with Johnson, who played with him for a couple of hours. After cashing out, the duo had breakfast and opted to go back to his hotel room for some recreational activities of the nude kind. They stopped to buy gum and condoms (clearly, he wasn't as prepared for this eventuality as he should have been) and commenced to doing what two consenting adults frequently do.

The problem is, the poker pro (who has gone nameless in all police reports and media coverage) woke up alone at around 9:30 AM and the $9,000 he'd won was gone, hence Johnson's subsequent capture and sentencing. The maximum sentence for Johnson was 3 years incarceration, but it's apparent that there was a plea bargain, considering her non-appearance in court.
