Huntsville city councilman Devyn Keith pleaded guilty Tuesday to two of four counts of misdemeanor shoplifting.

Keith, who is in his second term, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors just as his trial was to begin Tuesday afternoon before Madison County District Judge Patty Demos. Keith is represented by Huntsville attorney John Taylor.

The judge ordered Keith serve a suspended jail sentence and two years probation. Under the plea agreement, Keith is also permanently banned from Wal Mart.

Keith was arrested in February and had faced four charges that he stole merchandise from three different Walmart stores in Huntsville, according to police.

While two of the charges were dropped under the plea agreement, Keith will pay $464.31 restitution for the amount from all four of the cases.

During the brief court hearing, Keith thanked the judge for accepting the plea agreement reached with Assistant District Attorney Morgan Price. Tim Gann, chief deputy district attorney, said after the hearing that Keith received the same treatment as any other person charged with shoplifting.

Keith read a lengthy statement following the hearing.

“The agreement does hold me accountable for my negligence in the past year,” the statement said in part. “A failure to scan items such as Skittles, Butterfingers and $20 headphones, if I didn’t pay for an item, I am wrong. It was never my intent to not scan these items.”
