SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A onetime Garretson School District business manager has pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor.

Fifty-nine-year-old Rodney Fischer appeared in court Monday on the felony charge, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The plea deal calls for all but 180 days of the sentence to be suspended.

Authorities allege Fischer was caught in an online sting in which he solicited sex from what he thought was a 13-year-old girl but was actually an undercover agent.



A sentencing date has not been set.
