A former office manager at the Springfield Business Journal in Missouri has been sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay restitution after she pleaded guilty to stealing money for more than two years from the publication.
A story from KOLR 10 News states, “Jennie Tritch, 36, worked for the paper for six years as an office manager in charge of payroll. She was charged with stealing and forgery.

“Tritch allegedly stole $96,000 from the publication between August 2009 and January 2012. She was fired from the paper in January 2012.
“Springfield Officer Annesha Umbarger writes in a probable cause statement that the publisher reported Jennie ‘adjusted her cafeteria plan and medical insurance withholdings, produced fictitious bonus checks with forged signatures, produced extra payroll checks, and made unauthorized charges to the business Staples account.'”
