Former Pine Ridge Indian Health Service hospital administrator indicted

A former Pine Ridge Indian Health Service hospital administrator will make an initial appearance next week on charges that she failed to disclose a $5,000 gift from a pediatrician facing 10 counts of sexual abuse.

Wehnona Stabler, who worked as the hospital's CEO from 2011 to 2013, was indicted last month on charges that she made a false statement to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In January 2014, Stabler on a disclosure report said she hadn't accepted a gift of more than $350 from any one source. Sarah Collins, assistant U.S. attorney, in a redacted indictment said Stabler accepted $5,000 from Stanley Patrick Weber prior to making the statement.

Neither Stabler nor her attorney were available to comment Monday afternoon. Collins didn't immediately return a request for comment.
