A financial planner is accused of stealing a 70-year-old woman's life savings - more than a half-million dollars - and leaving her essentially penniless.
Springdale police arrested Martin Morris, 50.
A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Morris on 14 counts, including aggravated theft, theft from an elderly person and forgery.
Springdale police detective Keenan Riordan said Morris stole $509,637 by forging checks while handling all of the woman's finances.
