A Sheridan woman was arraigned on a felony theft charge Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
On June 19, 2025, the Sheridan Police Department received information that a former bar manager at the VFW on Broadway Street had allegedly stolen approximately $2,356 from the VFW between May 16-20 when she was still employed with the establishment. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Courtney McCalla. At an arraignment hearing Tuesday in District Court, McCalla pleaded not guilty to one count of felony theft. District Court Judge Ben Kirven said that a case management order with the dates for a two-day jury trial and a pretrial conference would be sent to legal counsel in the immediate future.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, the theft occurred when McCalla, while bar manager at the VFW, allegedly kept money from gaming payouts, pocketed money from a silent auction that was held to benefit the VFW, and did not pay bills with money that was given to her to specifically to pay bills. McCalla’s bond was continued under the same terms and conditions that were previously set in Sheridan County Circuit Court. If convicted, McCalla faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
