Woman allegedly stole from care-dependant victims

By HEATHER KOONTZ


A Bedford woman is accused to taking financial advantage of two adult individuals who were in her care.

Alicia Dawn Martin, 37, is facing two third-degree felony charges related to financial exploitation of a care-dependent person.

Police were notified on Jan. 29, 2020, by an individual at Skills of Central Pa. Inc., that a complaint was received regarding Martin.

Allegations include taking possession of items belonging to the two victims, using their money to purchase items for herself, and otherwise misappropriating the victims’ funds.

The criminal complaint lists the losses for one alleged victim at about $1,500, and the other at $3,400.

The individuals have since been moved to another facility.

Charges in the case were filed on April 25, but were inactive until last week.

Martin posted 10% of the $25,000 bail set in the case to secure her release.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday in Bedford County Central Court.
