Minnesota Woman Faces Charge Of Ripping Off Dementia-Disabled Aunt Of Life Savings, Leaving Her Facing Eviction From Nursing Home & Foreclosure

In Dakota County, Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports:

• An Eagan woman faces a felony charge of exploiting a vulnerable adult for allegedly stealing more than $35,000 from her disabled aunt. She is accused of gambling away the woman's life savings. Misty M. Williams, 30, was the conservator of the estate of Doris Jean Johnson, 72, who has dementia and lives in an assisted care center in Eagan. [...] Papers filed in probate court show an even higher loss. An examination of Johnson's accounts estimated the losses at more than $50,000 and possibly as high as $125,000, records show.

• Johnson's bills and rent had gone unpaid, she faced eviction, and her home, which her estate still owned, went into foreclosure because of a mechanic's lien by a homeowner's association, records show.
