An Elkhart woman has been sentenced to prison after admitting to fraud involving a disabled adult under her care.
Debra Collins pleaded guilty to one count of fraud after
authorities found she improperly spent Social Security benefits
belonging to the victim. Prosecutors say Collins transferred thousands
of dollars from the victim’s account and used the money for personal
expenses, including purchases at retail stores and online shopping.
Collins was sentenced to four-and-a-half years, with one year
suspended. She will serve 18 months in prison, followed by home
detention and probation.
