FARMINGTON — A Farmington woman pleaded guilty Monday in Superior Court to steeling metal valued at more than $1,000 from Goodwin’s Well Drilling yard in Farmington.

Kira Simot, 26, was arrested in June on a felony theft by unauthorized taking or transfer charge. A co-defendant, Nicholas St. Pierre, 29, of Farmington, also faces a theft charge. Simot pleaded guilty to that charge.

Justice Michaela Murphy issued a one-year deferred disposition. She told Simot if all goes well during the year, the charge would be reduced to a misdemeanor, and she would receive two days in jail and a fine of $250.

If it doesn’t go well, Murphy said, Simot faces up to five years in prison on the felony charge.

During the deferred disposition, Simot is prohibited from using alcohol or illegal drugs and is subject to random search and testing. She was also ordered to stay off Goodwin’s property.

Assistant District Attorney James Andrews said if the case went to trial, testimony would have been heard that steel casings and steel couplings were taken from the Farmington Falls Road business in early May.

Testimony would also show that the metal was taken to an Oakland recycling business and sold, Andrews said. A representative of the company was told that they worked for Goodwin’s and a receipt and names of the sellers would be provided as evidence, he said.

Testimony would also be heard that a man was seen in a small green pickup with a trailer at both the Goodwin’s business and the recycling business.

A Farmington police detective would also testify that the two suspects were interviewed and they told him they were sent by the well-drilling company.
