Ex-Harmony Press Treasurer Pleads Guilty to Large Theft

EASTON, PA—The former treasurer of Harmony Press has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $657,000 from the company, a move that prompted prosecutors to drop similar charges against her husband, The Express-Times reported.

Christina Russo used her position as treasurer of Harmony Press to forge checks to herself and her husband, Brian Russo. Police said she used a rubber stamp of company owner Stephen Grotenhuis' signature without his authorization to perpetrate the crimes.
