Shop owner has to pay nearly $14,000 to charity

An owner of a butcher shop in New Hampshire has pleaded guilty to not giving money from a fund-raiser to a charity. The Meat House held a charitable event in 2013 for the benefit of the Chaplain Emergency Relief Fund. The money was going to benefit veterans. Attorney General Joseph Foster said Justin Rosberg, co-owner of the business, failed to pay the funds. He pleaded guilty Thursday in Seabrook to one count of misapplication of property. Rosberg’s one-year sentence was suspended for two years, conditioned on payment of nearly $14,000 in restitution. Another co-owner, Jason Parent, was indicted earlier this month on charges of theft and misapplication of property.
