HILO » A University of Hawaii-Hilo softball player is being sentenced to earn her baccalaureate degree or face jail time for shoplifting at Walmart.

The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Wednesday that 19-year-old Erin Oshiro was sentenced to 30 days in jail that she can avoid if she completes other requirements set by Hilo Circuit Judge Greg Nakamura.

Oshiro, a reserve outfielder, was ordered to complete her degree, pay a $674 fine for items stolen, write an apology letter to Walmart and complete a National Association for Shoplifting Prevention program.

Three more softball players arrested along with Oshiro for shoplifting Dec. 14 were sentenced to five years of probation and 150 hours of community service.

Stolen items included computer games, a “Despicable Me” DVD, blank CDs, makeup, accessories and a T-shirt.
