Authorities have charged an elderly Midway Park man with emptying $200,000 out of his mother’s bank accounts.
Charles Edward Farnell, 71, was charged Monday by the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office with two counts of exploitation of an elderly and disabled adult. His bond was set at $30,000.
Farnell is accused of having his name added to bank accounts belonging to his 94-year-old mother Marie Gregory, removing funds and closing out the accounts, Sheriff Ed Brown said in a news release.
Farnell took his wheelchair-bound mother to First Citizens Bank and Marine Federal Credit Union on July 1 and later removed funds in excess of $200,000.
Brown said Gregory has had several strokes and suffers from dementia.

Shame. I know the professional guardians collect these type of stories to attempt to justify their actions. And there are far too many of these stories. Very sad that family would turn on one another.
