ERIE COUNTY -- A former bookkeeper will spend the next 2-6 years behind bars for stealing from a local doctor's office.
Justine Smith, 52, was sentenced Monday for falsifying business financial records and stealing $500,000 from her employer, Dr. Samuel Shatkin from 2011-2016.
Smith has paid back more than $61,000 so far, but State Supreme Court Justice Christopher J. Burns has ordered her to compensate for the remaining amount.
