Jail job applicant not hired, arrested instead in theft case

MANCHESTER, N.H. � A woman applying for a job at a New Hampshire county jail has been arrested because it turns out she was wanted on a charge in Maine.

Police said Kristina Hoefs of Manchester applied for the job Friday at the Hillsborough County Department of Corrections. But workers soon realized she was being sought on a theft-related offense in Maine.

Hoefs was taken into custody and taken to police headquarters. She was scheduled for arraignment Monday.

It�s unknown whether Hoefs has a lawyer. No phone number for her can be found.
