The other products Ann Roth
allegedly stole include a bone loss medication, two blood pressure
medicines, a pulmonary drug, grape seed extract, and personal care
items. Whether these products were for personal use or for resale is
unknown at this time.
StarNews reports that the UNCW police department began investigating
after receiving a tip April 23. Chief David Donaldson said officers
went back through 10 years of records while investigating. Roth was
taken to New Hanover County jail and later released with an unsecured
bond. We called Ms. Roth for comment and while she was happy to talk to
the editor, under the advice of her attorneys she is not “free to
discuss the case because it is ongoing.” She does “believe it will all
be resolved” although no court date has been set. Roth was emphatic in
stating “I am not admitting guilt, I am just not able to discuss it.”
Ann Roth’s personal breed is Beagles since 1979. She began judging in
2004 and is currently AKC approved for several Hound breeds and also
Smooth Fox Terriers. Asked if she is judging the Beagle National
Specialty she confirmed, “Yes, I will be judging the regular classes at
the National.”
Ann Roth still exhibits but she said “Sparingly. I have some co-owned
dogs but I don’t feel comfortable competing with someone this week and
then judging their dogs next week.”
We will follow this case for readers and hope that her case will be
settled and Ann Roth will be judging the Beagle Nationals.
