A Pella woman has been charged with financial exploitation and
dependent adult abuse of a Newton resident, after a federal Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network tip notified local police of more than
$113,799 in potentially misappropriated money.
According to the Newton Police Department, 36-year-old Christan D.
Maddison allegedly used the funds to purchase $15,500 in plastic
surgery, as well as pay her own utility bills, tattoos, rent, car and
credit card payments and fast food after she became the elderly victim’s
power of attorney in February of 2017. Authorities were first alerted
to the abuse reports in April.
Investigators claim the abuse happened while the victim was in a
nursing home and unable to manage her own financial accounts. A reported
$194,533 in annuities, investments and social security payments over
the 14 months Maddison was POA for the victim were deposited into an
account managed by Maddison. Police said $80,756 did go to the victim’s
care during that time period, leaving the $113,779 in missing money.
Maddison was charged July 1, and released pending her scheduled court appearance at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 14.

She turns my stomach.
Pattern of operation predators and their prey. Christan D. Maddison belongs in a prison cage with court order of full restitution or it's back to her cage. $15,500 in plastic surgery hmmmm my opinion is this cowardly crook spent the stolen money on breast enlargement procedure.
