RIDGWAY – A Ridgway woman is facing felony theft charges after allegedly swindling over $150,000 dollars from her mother, who is battling dementia.
According to State Police, a number of withdrawals had been made from the mother’s account once 56 year-old Kelly Wright became the Power of Attorney in March of 2022.
Since then Wright allegedly made multiple transactions every month taking her mother’s funds, totaling just over $150,000 dollars.
She is now facing felony charges including financial exploitation of an older adult and multiple counts of theft by deception. She has a preliminary hearing set for January 6th.
