A 48-year-old Carthage man pleaded guilty this week to financial exploitation of an elderly woman in Lawrence County and was assessed five years in prison.
Willie J. Harrison took a plea offer Thursday in Lawrence County Circuit Court that resulted in the prison time meted out by Judge Matthew Kasper.
Harrison originally faced counts of first-degree kidnapping and stealing in the case involving the attempted bilking of an elderly Lawrence County woman with dementia in a driveway repair scam two years ago.
Harrison was identified as one of three males caught on a trail cam video spreading sealant over a small portion of the woman's driveway before leaving with her seated in their truck. Two of the men later showed up with her in their truck in the drive-thru lane of her bank in Monett and tried to withdraw $4,200 from her account.
