PENDLETON â A Umatilla County woman faces charges of felony computer crime, forgery and theft after she was indicted by a grand jury.
Spring Hartinger, 48, of Stanfield, was indicted Wednesday, Dec. 16, on 43 counts of felony computer crime, five counts of second-degree forgery and four counts of second-degree theft. She was arrested by Hermiston police for allegedly stealing money from the restaurant where she worked by altering and adding money to receipts.
The four counts of theft all took place at Nookieâs Restaurant and Brewery in Hermiston, according to court records.
According to court documents from Monday, Dec. 21, the state intends to introduce more evidence to the case, which could enhance the severity of Hartingerâs sentence. The state said the crime was allegedly committed while Hartinger was on âprobation or release in another criminal case.â
