Update May 2024:
Brianna Ashley Anderson was placed on probation in lieu of jail or prison as the result of a plea agreement her attorney negotiated with the Cochise County Attorney’s Office. The deal required Anderson to plead guilty to one count of felony theft for which she can avoid incarceration if she complies with the conditions of probation.
Anderson, 37, was formally sentenced by Judge Jason Lindstrom of the Cochise County Superior Court in late March. She has agreed to pay restitution of $250 to Canyon Vista Dental and $18,886 to CNA Financial, the employer’s insurance company.
