PATTERSONVILLE – A Pattersonville woman was sentenced this week to up to six years in state prison after admitting to taking $147,000 from the veterinary clinic where she worked. Sentencing took place after the veterinarian she stole from spoke of the “incalculable” impact from the theft, Schenectady County district attorney’s officials said.
Jennifer Dolezsar, 49, of Pattersonville, pleaded guilty earlier to one count of second-degree grand larceny, a felony.
Judge Matthew Sypniewski sentenced Dolezsar Tuesday to two to six years in state prison, in accordance with her plea agreement, prosecutors said. The judge also ordered her to pay full restitution to the victim.

Dolezsar admitted to embezzling the money from her employer Veterinary Specialties Referral Center in Pattersonville, over the course of multiple years, prosecutors said.
She admitted to specifically taking the cash receipts received by the clinic and then falsifying the daily reports sent to the business’ accountant to cover up her theft, prosecutors said.

SCHENECTADY – Alma Hurwitz’s family tried to keep her safe. They even tried to get the 94-year-old an aide, daughter Robin Inwald recalled in Schenectady County Court Tuesday.
But Hurwitz, a trained scientist, was fiercely independent. She even continued to handle her own finances, something she enjoyed doing. That was, Inwald said in court, “until you came along.”
Inwald spoke of Craig Kearsing, the now-admitted scam artist who preyed on at least three elderly victims in Schenectady and Niskayuna in 2019 for thousands of dollars in bogus home work.
