 Worker Makes $118,000 In 'Psychic' Calls | | By: Phantom | Published: 08/27/1999 | | |  |

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
A
secretary in the Los Angeles County Mental Health Department
pleaded guilty to making 2,600 calls to a "Psychic Hotline'' on
county phones over a two-year period, racking up $118,000 in
charges, prosecutors said.
Cheryl Burnham, 39, pleaded guilty to one count of grand theft
on the eve of her trial in Los Angeles Superior Court. Deputy
District Attorney Robert Dver said Burnham will be sentenced
under a plea agreement to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay
restitution toward the phone charges at a hearing on July 16.
She will also be placed on five years probation.
Dver said Burnham made most of her calls to the hotline on
nights and weekends between June 1996 and November 1998, using a
computer to bypass a county block on such numbers.
A routine audit picked up the calls and investigators traced
them back to the defendant's work area, Dver said.
