Ex-State Senator Pleads No Contest To False Domestic Violence Report

     A former South Dakota state senator from the Rapid City area has pleaded No Contest to making a false domestic violence report against her ex-husband during their bitter divorce. 

      Lyndi DiSanto of Box Elder was granted a suspended imposition of sentence, which will allow her to have the conviction – her first- sealed if she successfully completes her sentence. 

     Magistrate Judge Todd Hyronimus gave DiSanto a suspended 90-day jail sentence, which she would serve only if she violates the terms of her probation, which includes a $250 fine.
