A 53-year-old Seaside
woman was sentenced to more
than six years in prison for
stealing thousands of dollars
from her 79-year-old live-in
partner, who is suffering from
dementia.
Deborah Lynn Reinhardt
stole more than $50,000 from
the elderly man, along with his
truck and his identity to access
a Fidelity Investments account.
Reinhardt entered Alford
pleas Tuesday at a sentencing
hearing in Clatsop County Cir-
cuit Court to irst-degree aggra-
vated theft, irst-degree theft,
identity theft, driving under
the inluence of intoxicants and
driving while her license was
suspended.
Other charges
including
criminal mis-
treatment,
forgery and
tampering
with a wit-
ness were dis- Deborah Lynn
missed.
Reinhardt
An Alford
plea is a guilty plea from a de-
fendant who proclaims their
innocence, but admits the pros-
ecution has enough evidence to
prove they are guilty.
The incidents occurred be-
tween July 2014 and January
2015. The man’s family was
able to get a restraining order
against Reinhardt. She had
to move out of the house she
shared with the man off U.S.
Highway 26 and could not
use his 2008 Ford F350 truck.
However, in January 2015, she
went back to the property and
took his truck. Reinhardt used
the money she stole on shop-
ping, gambling, eating out at
restaurants and drinking in
bars.
The drunken-driving con-
viction relates to an incident in
November 2014 when she left
a bar in Seaside, got into her
vehicle and crashed into anoth-
er car. Her blood alcohol level
was measured at 0.20 percent,
according to police.
Reinhardt’s defense lawyer
Kirk Wintermute said alcohol
abuse is the root of her prob-
lems. He described how she
was having a good time with
her partner trying to enjoy the
last few years of the man’s life.
However, Reinhardt started
spending money too quickly
and things snowballed out of
control.
“She was drinking more
than she should,” Wintermute
said. “She is a different person
when she is not drinking.”
As part of her 78-month
prison sentence, Reinhardt is
ordered to pay a $30,000 ine
to the man. She is also not al-
lowed to have any contact with
him or his family.
The victim’s daughter, who
aided in the law enforcement
investigation, spoke at the sen-
tencing hearing.
“She squandered away the
health of my father, the time he
had with family,” the daughter
said.
