A former Omaha attorney was sentenced Thursday to 18 months in federal prison for stealing $92,000 from 12 nursing home residents she was appointed to protect.
U.S. District Judge Lyle Strom sentenced Kim Erwin-Loncke, 47, to the prison term plus three years of supervised release.
Strom also ordered her to pay $92,608 in restitution.
Douglas County judges had appointed Erwin-Loncke guardian of several disabled or otherwise incapacitated nursing home residents.
From August 2008 to November 2010, the then-attorney took advantage of those clients by transferring their Social Security payments to her own bank accounts, U.S. Attorney Deb Gilg said.
The Nebraska Supreme Court disbarred Erwin-Loncke in November 2010.
Strom ordered Erwin-Loncke to report June 24 to begin serving her prison term.

Karma, baby, Karma!
Jail, restitution and community service would make it a true "full meal deal."
Federal prison is a good thing!
Have a happy life in the big house!
