Dania Shaar, a Lockport, New York woman who had admitted stealing $36,695 from a dental office where she once worked withdrew her guilty plea Thursday after State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. decided she didn’t deserve probation. Kloch gave Dania Shaar the option to go back on her admission to two reduced counts of petit larceny, and she decided to go to trial on the original indictment, charging her with two counts of third-degree grand larceny.
Embezzlement cases like this one represent one of the most common forms of workplace theft affecting dental practices.
