SANDPOINT — Authorities are moving to revoke the probation of a Washington state woman who admitted embezzling funds from her former employer.

Pamela Ann McGrath is accused of failing to pay one thin dime in restitution, fines and fees associated for her conviction on a charge of grand theft, which is a violation of the terms of her probation, according to court documents.

McGrath, 54, was charged with burglary, forgery and felony theft for using her position as an escrow officer to write checks to herself in late 2017 and early 2018. McGrath pleaded guilty to the theft charge and the remaining charges were dismissed in exchange for the plea, court records show. McGrath committed the thefts while employed at Sandpoint Title Insurance.

McGrath was accused of committing similar crimes in Snohomish County., Wash., where she’s accused of writing checks totaling nearly $8,500 in purloined escrow funds.

McGrath was ordered to serve up to three years in prison, although 1st District Judge Barbara Buchanan retained jurisdiction, also known as a rider.

When a defendant receives a rider, they serve up to a year in prison before a decision is made to further incarcerate them or place them on probation.

McGrath was placed on probation in February 2019, but her probation officer recently moved to revoke her release due to nonpayment of $3,805 in restitution, fees and fines, according to court documents.

At the time of her sentencing, McGrath said she was grappling with a gambling addiction and the death of her parents.

McGrath is scheduled to be sentenced in the Washington state case on May 26.
