STOCKTON - A former University of the Pacific student charged with embezzling thousands of dollars from her sorority pleaded no contest Tuesday in San Joaquin County Superior Court.

In a negotiated plea deal . . . Lina Lee, 39, will pay back $38,000 to the Alpha Phi, Iota Gamma Chapter, and spend 60 days on house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor.

In six months, she will appear again before . . . Judge Franklin Stephenson, and if she has met her end of the bargain, the judge said he will turn her felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanor conviction.

Lee . . . was accused in September of taking as much as $114,507 from the sorority while serving on its board. She paid back much of it before investigators caught up with her.
