Gina L. Stahlnecker, 48, of Etters, Pennsylvania (PA), a dental assistant at a Cumberland County practice, was charged with stealing more than $2,000 from the business by manipulating a company account to divert checks to herself without her employer's knowledge. Stahlnecker also admitted to her employer that she had taken gold from the practice on at least one occasion. Upper Allen Township police said she confessed to the scheme when confronted.
