Danielle Bregoli, a 14-year-old from Boynton Beach who appeared on daytime talk show “Dr. Phil” last year, pleaded guilty June 28 to charges of grand theft, grand theft auto, possession of marijuana and filing a false report.
Judge Lou Delgado sentenced Bregoli on Tuesday in Palm Beach County Court in Delray Beach.
The state recommended Bregoli remain in Palm Beach County for probation.
On three separate occasions last year, Bregoli allegedly stole her mother’s purse, her car and called the police to falsely report that her mother had been using heroin, according to the state attorney’s office.
This year, Bregoli was found in a car with marijuana, the state attorney’s office reports.
The false police report was filed in May 2016 when Bregoli reported a domestic battery involving her mother. When investigators arrived, they said the teen accused her mother of using drugs and pointed to powdered sugar scattered on a bathroom counter, describing it as heroin.
The teen admitted that the report was false, police said.
Two additional charges were dismissed by the state attorney’s office in June.
