KONENKAMP, Justice

[¶ 1.] Defendant failed to return government issued equipment at the end of his military service with the South Dakota Army National Guard. When he was charged with theft under a law making it a crime to retain military property, the circuit court dismissed the indictment, concluding that the statute violated our consti*2tutional prohibition on imprisonment for debt. We reverse.
