  Cheryl Bradshaw, 60, of Atlantic City, pleaded guilty [] before Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Patricia Wild to a charge of theft by failure to make required disposition, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner said in a statement.
  
  Bradshaw, the former property manager of the Barlinvis Apartments in Atlantic City, was arrested April 19 after the prosecutor’s detectives found she stole a toilet seat and $826 from tenants, he said.
  
  She was charged with official misconduct and theft by failure to make required disposition of property received after cashing 13 checks that were supposed to go to nine tenants at the Barlinvis Apartments, Tyner said.
  
  The money was from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help offset the residents’ utility bills, authorities said.
