The Former caretaker of a Slate Belt shooting club in Eastern Pennsylvanias is accused of stealing more than $400,000 from the organization in order to help fuel her gambling addiction.

Lisa A. Shafer is facing 26 theft-related charges and planned to plead guilty.

“I’m not denying any charges,” Shafer told District Judge Alicia Zito inside the courtroom. “I’m not running away from any charges.”

She added: “I hate money and I hate gambling.”

The affidavit in the matter suggests otherwise.

“She admitted she was a thief and would do anything it took to get money,” it read.
