Timothy R. Boyd, 60, is charged with one count of financial exploitation of an elderly person, and one count of theft between $100,000 to $500,000, each punishable by 4 to 15 years in prison.
Tuesday, he still was in Whiteside County Jail on $200,000 bond. He has hired Sterling attorney Daniel Huffman, and a bail reduction hearing is set for April 1.
From Jan. 28, 2011, to Sept. 22, Boyd used his "position of trust and confidence" to take control of a nursing home resident's personal assets and finances at a local bank and a life insurance company, "knowingly and by deception" depriving her of $142,522.15, prosecutors say in court documents.
A local nursing home tipped off Sterling Police in September, and Boyd turned himself in to the Whiteside County Sheriff's Department on Feb. 19, a news release said.
In January 2004, Boyd was sentenced to 2 months in jail and 2 1/2 years' probation for aggravated DUI. In June 1992, he was sentenced to 2 1/2 years' probation for possession of a controlled substance.
