Attorney questions decision to drop theft charge

WOODSTOCK – The attorney for an alleged theft victim is questioning how, after almost four years, a felony charge was dropped by prosecutors three days before trial.

Janice Hoeft, 56, was charged in December 2008 with theft of more than $10,000.

She was accused of charging more than $50,000 in personal expenses to her business credit card for LorEnn Ltd., a company that operates several Hallmark stores.
