After making illegal purchases for clothing, groceries and gas for her car, a caregiver must repay $9,603 to her late client’s estate.
Kimberly Brown, 30, entered an open plea in November to charges of theft by unlawful taking and unauthorized use of a debit card. Brown cared for Harry Weidler from Dec. 11 to June 4 while working for Senior Helpers.
According to a Phillyburbs.com report, Brown received a five-year probation sentence. Weidler’s niece contacted the Lower Moreland Police Department in June after she saw suspicious transactions including $2,000 in withdrawals and over $1,100 in charges to Home Depot. Weidler contacted Brown after she was unable to locate her uncle’s debit card. Brown admitted to making the transactions.
