A Harford man was sentenced to one year in jail for stealing more $80,000 from his Howard employer, which he used to purchase items, such as golf equipment costing between $6,000 and $8,000.

Timothy Shipe, 40, of Havre de Grace, pleaded guilty to the theft in June before Howard Circuit Judge Richard Bernhardt and agreed Thursday to pay $45,000 in restitution to Kane Co. Office Movers in Elkridge.
