CHEHALIS – The former chief financial officer for Steck Medical Group was sentenced yesterday to six months in jail for skimming cash from deposits from the business.

Keith B. Mohoric, 52, of Centralia, was arrested in early May by Chehalis police, accused of embezzling some $25,000 from the health clinic.

He pleaded guilty in a plea agreement to first-degree theft and second-degree theft. Several counts of forgery were dropped.

Mohoric was sentenced yesterday in Lewis County Superior Court to the top of the standard range for first-degree theft, six months; and the top of the standard range for second-degree theft, three months, according to Deputy Prosecutor Will Halstead.

Total confinement is six months.

The group’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Bredeson said Mohoric had worked for them a little more than a year and a half and promised restitution when he was confronted.

    Put someone in charge of anything and you always have abuse. Steck Medical has shit service anyways most people who are in the know avoid that second rate death factory like the plauge. Lots of people are forced to go there do to location also. It’s unfortunate that America has crappy medical services. But good knews folks your local water deparrment cares for your teeth and they have since the mid 50’s. Imagine that they care more for your teeth than the rest of your body health.
