Wisconsin Man Charged With Stealing From Dementia-Stricken Homeowner; Victim's House Ultimately Lost In Foreclosure

In Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, WQOW-TV Channel 18 reports:

• A Chippewa Falls man is charged with stealing thousands of dollars from a woman who was in the early stages of Dementia. Todd Evenson is charged with theft. Investigators say he made a deal with a woman in 2004 that he would do chores in exchange for a room. Over three years, investigators say Evenson used the woman's debt consolidation loan to buy power tools, a motorcycle, and even pay some of his child support payments. Nearly $17,000 was taken and the woman's home was eventually foreclosed on. The criminal complaint says Evenson has a history of forgery, credit card fraud and identity theft. He'll be in court in July.
