BEDFORD (AP) – A secretary to the warden of a Western Pennsylvania county jail is facing allegations she stole more than $50,000 going back five years.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Friday that 64-year-old Sheila Suter of Bedford was charged with felony theft after Bedford County Prison Warden David Kessling noticed checks and money orders were being deposited but not cash.
The money Suter is accused of taking was from incoming inmates and was supposed to be deposited in a local bank. Police said inmates didn’t lose money because Suter reimbursed them from the bank account.
Police said Suter confessed. Online court records don’t indicate whether she has an attorney. She doesn’t appear to have a listed phone number.
