Goffstown teenager Laura Mackenzie has received fines and a suspended sentence in connection with the shoplifting charges that caused her to flee the state in March.

Appearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court on Nov. 9, Mackenzie pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of shoplifting.

Conditions of her plea agreement include paying $2,751.45 in extradition fees to cover the cost of returning her to New Hampshire from Florida, where she was found in August after going missing for eight months.

Mackenzie vanished from her Tipping Rock Road home on March 8, the day she was scheduled to appear in Manchester District Court on felony shoplifting charges.

She has since acknowledged she fled the state to avoid facing charges she stole nearly $1,000 in clothing and jewelry from the Filene’s at the Mall of New Hampshire on Feb. 15 of this year.

An anonymous tip to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office in August led authorities to St. Augustine Beach, Fla., where Mackenzie had been working in a restaurant and driving her car with its original New Hampshire license plates.

The plea agreement further requires Mackenzie to pay an additional $1,500 in fines and forbids her from entering Filene’s or Macy’s department stores.

A one-year jail term is also included in the sentence, suspended for two years of good behavior.

The agreement does not include any compensation to the Goffstown Police Department for their efforts in locating her since her disappearance.

Police Chief Michael French would not disclose how much compensation the department sought for the Mackenzie search effort. He did, however, express approval of Mackenzie’s guilty plea.

“It’s good that (Mackenzie has) acknowledged her involvement in the initial situation that gave rise to the warrant, good she’s acknowledged the disappearing was a huge mistake on her part, which caused significant worry on part of friends and family,” French said.

The chief expressed no opinion on the lack of compensation for his agency in the agreement.

“I think the court accepted an agreement that was crafted by the county prosecutor and defense council, and that’s what the result is,” French said.

Mackenzie’s brother Lloyd, who served as a Marine in Iraq during the time Laura was missing, returned home from duty with other members of 1st Battalion, 25th Marine regiment Bravo Company on Oct. 25.

The homecoming ceremony at Nashua High School South was attended by thousands of families and Lloyd’s siblings Craig, Evan, and Laura and their parents, William and Enid.
