GUILDERLAND — A Greene County woman was arrested last Thursday for stealing over $65,000 from the Guilderland business she managed.

Kathryn Ann Pitcher, 28, of Leeds, was charged with second-degree grand larceny after, police say, she stole money from Jean Paul Spa in Stuyvesant Plaza.

Guilderland Police say that, from June 2004 until last month, Pitcher stole over $65,000 by altering the bookkeeping at the spa. She was a manager there and had access to many operations of the business, police say.

Pitcher was arraigned last Thursday in Guilderland Town Court before Judge Steven J. Simon. She was remanded to Albany County’s jail and released on $10,000 bail.

Pitcher is scheduled to reappear in court tonight (Thursday).
