Charged with Bilking Seniors

A former caregiver for Alzheimer's disease patients has been charged with bilking some of them.

Assistant Attorney General Earl Fechter says 23-year-old Heather M. Whitehouse stole jewelry and several credit cards from vulnerable seniors living at The Arbors, a residential care facility in Shelburne.

She's charged with fraudulent use of a credit card, financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult, identity theft, larceny, selling stolen property and unlawful taking of property.

Whitehouse pleaded not guilty in an arraignment in Vermont District Court.

If convicted, she could get 59 years in prison.
