| Grand Forks Caregiver Sentenced for Theft |
| 11/19/2009 |
| A woman has been sentenced to a month in jail for stealing more than $1,000 from a Grand Forks man in her care. Julie Amundson apologized in court Wednesday and told Judge Sonja Clapp she had no explanation for what she did. Amundson`s attorney, Darla Schuman, said her client had bills to pay and was struggling with mental health issues at the time of the theft, between February and June. Reading a letter written on behalf of the 48-year-old victim, prosecutor Chris Griffin said Amundson not only took his money but also his confidence, dignity and self-worth. A police report said Amundson confessed to using $1,017 from the man`s checking account to pay bills and buy a 20-inch flat-screen TV. She pleaded guilty to exploiting a vulnerable adult, a Class C felony. |
