Bookkeeper gets four years for theft
LTC Liability Monitor, May 5, 2005
A bookkeeper who stole more than $172,000 from the nursing home at which she was employed was sentenced to four years in prison, the Rockford [IL] Register Star reported. Diane Hecker, the former bookkeeper at the River Bluff Nursing Home in Rockford, pleaded guilty to theft last week.
Hecker confessed to police after an audit by the county revealed money was missing from the facility's bank accounts. She was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay the money back, the Register Star reported.
