Putnam County Woman Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Tina Holsopple, 44, of Culloden in Putnam County, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $146,494.91 for identity theft. Holsopple pleaded guilty to the federal charge in May 2010, admitting that while working at an accounting firm in Cross Lanes, she stole over $154,000 while being placed in charge of an account for Poca Valu Rite pharmacy. An investigation revealed Holsopple used check creation software to make counterfeit checks payable to herself, stamped the owner of the pharmacy’s name on the checks, deposited them in her own account, and withdrew the money for personal use.
