EUGENE, Ore. — Aggravated theft charges have been filed against a bookkeeper accused of stealing $250,000 from the drug and alcohol treatment that employed her in Eugene, Ore.

The Register-Guard reports Sappe pleaded not guilty at her arraignment Tuesday.
Sappe has been fired the center, Serenity Lane. She had worked there since 2004.
Serenity Lane moved from Eugene to a new facility in Coburg last year.
