Mundy is scheduled to go before Judge Douglas Rastatter for a pre-trial hearing Friday. A trial has been scheduled for September.
According to court documents obtained by the Springfield News-Sun, Mundy’s claim of having Lymphoma began to unravel April 25 when her co-workers went to surprise her at Greene Memorial Hospital, where she said she was receiving treatment. But, according to police, Mundy wasn’t there.
The next day, April 26, Mundy resigned from her position and the Ohio Masonic Home contacted Springfield police. Prior to her employer discovering Mundy lied about having cancer, two fundraisers were held for her at Bogey’s Bar & Grill on Springfield Xenia Road. Employees also reportedly donated money at work-related fundraisers, according to court documents.
Officers tracked down $5,750 reportedly donated in 2012 and 2013 and charged Mundy with theft. She turned herself into authorities May 16. When she went before a judge in June, Mundy pleaded not guilty to the felony theft charge.
She is out of jail on her own recognizance pending trial.
