JUNEAU -- A 45-year-old Yakutat woman convicted of theft and falsifying business records of her employer has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison. Karen White, who in 2008 was employed by Yak-tat Kwaan, was sentenced in Juneau Superior Court.
Public defender David Seid said White plans to appeal her conviction.
White also had 17 months of probation remaining for a prior offense of falsifying prescriptions while employed as a nurse in Yakutat.
In sentencing comments, District Attorney Doug Gardner said White had done good work as a nurse but that she had not used the probation process to improve her situation.
He says White's actions were discovered in a nine-day hunt through receipts and bank deposits.
