NASHVILLE (AP) - The former executive director of a Tennessee wildlife rehabilitation center has pleaded guilty to theft of property stemming from charges that he stole more than $110,000 from the charity.

The Davidson County District Attorney's office said in a news release that Donald Deathridge entered his plea on Thursday in court and was given 10 years on probation and ordered to make restitution to Walden's Puddle Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The center provides care and treatment to sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife in Tennessee.

Deathridge repaid $60,000 to the organization on Thursday and will make payments over the next five years.

He was also ordered to perform 400 hours of community service at the Room at the Inn over the period of his probation.
