Detroit judge among four charged with exploiting vulnerable adults

By Elyse Apel

(The Center Square) – Four Michiganders, including a sitting judge, have been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with embezzlement-related charges.

All four are residents of Detroit and allegedly conspired to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from incapacitated individuals.

United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. made the announcement recently, which U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi applauded over the weekend.

“No one is above the law – judges included,” Bondi said. “Using the power of the bench to allegedly take advantage of vulnerable people is a particularly vile crime. Thank you to our great prosecutors in Eastern Michigan.”

Nancy Williams, Avery Bradley, Andrea Bradley-Baskin and Dwight Rashad were all charged in a federal indictment. The indictment came as part of an investigation by the FBI and the IRS.
