The former office manager and bookkeeper for a La Grande medical practice who also faces similar allegations from when she worked in Hood River pleaded guilty Tuesday for devising a scheme to defraud her employer. U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams says 49-year-old Anndrea D. Jacobs pleaded guilty tiling a false personal income tax return, falsely impersonating an IRS employee, aggravated identity theft, and bank fraud as a joint resolution for two criminal cases. According to court documents, beginning on or about January 2011 and continuing until her termination in December 2015, Jacobs used her position and access to the medical practice’s finances to steal money from the practice by, among other means, writing business checks to herself or for her own benefit. A federal grand jury in Portland returned a 15-count indictment against Jacobs one year ago. Jacobs still faces bank fraud charges for allegedly stealing checks payable to a Hood River dental practice worth more than $22,000. Under the terms of her plea agreement, Jacobs will join the U.S. Attorney’s Office in jointly recommending a four-year prison sentence followed by five years of supervised release. She will be sentenced on in December. Jacobs has also agreed to pay restitution in full to her victim as ordered by the court.
