DA says process the same even if wealthy arrested
TOPEKA — Authorities followed standard procedure for a felony case yesterday when they fingerprinted and photographed a mug shot of one of the wealthiest women in America, Hudson the chairman Mary Hudson Vanderbilt.
The 70-year-old Shawnee Hills woman and Hudson Oil marketing chief Robert Stallings are charged with conspiracy to commit felony theft involving alleged tampering with gasoline pumps.
Mrs. Vandregt and Stallings, who each posted $5,000 bail Monday, are to return to Shawnee County District Hall to set a preliminary hearing date.
Shawnee County Assistant District Attorney Gary Corwell said the two are charged with "ordering an employee to walk in and get her meters" at two Topelle gas stations.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY GENE Olander said the "policy in any felony case" is for the suspect to have mug
wwwwwwww
shots and be fingerprinted, no matter who they are.
Forbes Magazine in 1982 listed Vanderegift among the 400 wealthiest individuals in the United States and estimated her net worth at $100 million.
In addition to the charges filed Sept. 30 against Vandegrift and Stallings, Hudson Oil, headquartered in Kansas City, Kan., is charged with felony theft and removing official state seals from gas pumps.
Gas pumps cannot be altered without removing the seals placed during inspections by state officials, Conwell said. He said between Feb. 21 and June 26 the pumps were set so that if they showed 5 gallons of gas was purchased, the customer actually only received 4 gallons to 4.5 gallons.
The altered pumps were discovered in Topeka after officials found pumps in Johnson County had been tampered with, he said.
Vandegrift pleaded no contest July 8 to the Johnson County charge and was placed on two years' probation, ordered to pay fines of $10,000 of community service and fined $5,000.
