The former administrator of Pinebrook Personal Care Center is headed to Schuylkill County Court after waiving her right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges she stole almost $17,000 from the facility and four residents.
Sharon L. Haley, 55, of 302 Millstone Drive, Mountville, formerly of Reading, left without saying anything after Magisterial District Judge James R. Ferrier bound over for court five counts each of theft, theft by deception and theft by failure to make required disposition. All charges are felonies.
Ferrier allowed Haley to remain free on $10,000 unsecured bail pending further court action.
Trooper First Class Denny Grimm of the state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Harrisburg charged Haley with taking the money in five stages between Jan. 1, 2006, and Aug. 21, 2007, while she was administrator of the center, 2 Woodbridge Road, Pinebrook, West Brunswick Township.
• Writing $8,950 worth of checks against the Pinebrook Resident Trust Fund bank account. Haley cashed those checks and kept the money for her own use, recording the checks either as void or written to a fictitious person or entity, according to police.
