Robin Fiedler of Sandwich, Illinois pleaded guilty this week to stealing money from a Sandwich dental practice over a four-year period.
Robin Fiedler, 42, was sentenced Tuesday to 2½ years of probation by DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert. As a condition of her sentence, she has to make restitution to the Walter Dental Group and cannot have contact with Dr. John Waters, according to a news release from State’s Attorney Clay Campbell.
She was arrested in June. At that time, prosecutors said Fiedler was accused of taking the money through a series of incidents beginning in November 2006 and continuing through April. During that time, Fiedler was employed by the Waters Dental Group in Sandwich, an employee at the dental office confirmed in 2011.
