Woman Found Guilty of Stealing $300,000 From Hospital – California Penal Code Section 487

It was recently reported that a former hospital worker was sentenced to three years in state prison for stealing more than $300,000 cash from cash registers at the hospital’s cafeteria. Bridget Dominique Ganier worked as an executive assistant, which required her to supervise the daily cafeteria revenues and deposits. This is when she stole the money. The money was routed to her personal account where she purchased several real estate properties. She was found guilty of grand theft crimes and sentenced to three years in state prison.

Under California Penal Code Section 487, a grand theft crime is committed when the money, labor, or real or personal property taken is of a value exceeding $400. Grand theft is punishable by imprisonment in state prison for up to three years. Restitution can also be ordered. In this case, Ganier was ordered to pay $306,000 in restitution.
