Katherine Asimos, who worked in the hospital mailroom, allegedly took the documents between Nov. 2009-Sept. 2010. She was sent a notice to appear today for arraignment on five counts of forgery, embezzlement by a caretaker and embezzlement of records. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the charges are misdemeanors because medical records do not have a monetary value, according to the report.
Ms. Asimos faces jail time if convicted.
