ESCANABA, MI-- An Escanaba woman has been arrested for embezzling money from a vulnerable adult.
Detectives from the Escanaba Department of Public Safety took the 37-year-old woman into custody Wednesday morning following a several-month-long investigation. They say the case involves missing funds from a resident of the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette.
The suspect is charged with embezzlement from a vulnerable adult—$100,000 or more. It’s punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $50,000 fine, or three times the amount of money involved, whichever is greater.
Officials say the woman turned herself in after formal charges were authorized.
