The former director of the San Luis Obispo Gala Pride and Diversity Center pleaded guilty to embezzlement on Friday.
Prosecutors initially charged 46-year-old Dustin Robert Colyerworth with four counts of grand theft by embezzlement. He pleaded guilty to two of the counts.
The court ordered Colyerworth to pay $59,302 back to the nonprofit before his June 25 sentencing hearing.
Colyerworth embezzled the funds from the Gala Pride and Diversity Center beginning in Nov. 2022 and ending in Oct. 2024.
