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.
