MERCER, Pa. -- A Mercer County Common Pleas Court judge sentenced a Greenville woman to three years' probation for burglary and receiving stolen property.
Denise Grisetti, 22, of Clinton Sreet had pleaded guilty to burglary and receiving stolen property. She admitted burglarizing a Greenville home and possessing a stolen rifle and shotgun in October 2000. The stolen items were later pawned in Youngstown.

Judge Francis Fornelli sentenced her Friday.
