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.

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.
