Eich, who worked at Desert Valley Dental as an assistant, allegedly told police she yanked 13 teeth from an unidentified person at a “prior time” before the burglary and had used anesthetic that had been thrown away by the dental office.
The Sheriff’s office said Eich did the teeth extraction “on her own time.”
The incident was made aware by authorities after police responded to a burglar alarm at a dental office on May 3, where they found an open back door, a broken window and a ransacked cash drawer. Nearly $23,000 in cash and checks was reported missing.
