Heather Lynn Davidson, 37, of Natrona Heights, confessed to stealing one U.S. Steel pension check for $143 from Monongahela police Chief Brian Tempest and giving another suspect permission to deposit it into her account, using a banking machine July 1 in Vandergrift, court records filed by the city’s police department show. Meanwhile, Carroll Township police on Thursday charged Davidson with stealing a U.S. Steel pension check for $1,589 issued to James M.

Police did not indicate in the record how the checks were stolen. Davidson is charged with theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy and lodged in Washington County Jail on $10,000 bond set by District Judge Mark Wilson.
