AURORA, Ill. (AP) — A 41-year-old suburban Chicago woman
has pleaded guilty to stealing money from a resident of a long-term care
facility while working for a state contractor.
The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Kane
County prosecutors say 41-year-old Mary E. Pfingston of Joliet entered
her plea in court Friday. She faces probation or a sentence of between
three to seven years in prison. She's to be sentenced March 22. She
remains in the Kane County jail in lieu of bail.
Pfingston worked for Senior Services Associates. It was contracted with the state through the Illinois
Department on Aging. An indictment alleged Pfingston stole thousands of
dollars from a North Aurora care-facility resident in 2015. The
indictment included counts of financial exploitation of the elderly and
public contractor misconduct.

So the question would be did the service do a background check before hiring this woman?
