PUEBLO, Colo. (CBS4) - A woman who was found guilty of stealing more than $730,000 from the Great Sand Dunes National Park has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Former park employee Lydia L. White, 49, pleaded guilty in May to theft of government property and money laundering, according to the Pueblo Chieftain.
