The woman who found someone else's automatic teller machine card and then withdrew $700 is scheduled to be sentenced in Douglas County District Court this morning.

Diana Drinkard, 39, faces up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. She is eligible for probation.

According to reports, on April 26, the victim left her ATM card in the Minden Bank of America machine after a withdrawal and drove away. Drinkard allegedly drove up after her and used the still-active card four times to withdraw $700 before it was declined for a fifth try.

"There are no excuses I can make for what I did," she said. "I was going through some very hard times. I regret very much I made that decision."

She was recorded making the withdrawals as her two young sons watched.
