## Resource

A 62-year-old man in Clare County, Michigan, faces multiple felony charges for allegedly stealing over $200,000 from an 82-year-old victim with a brain injury. Prosecutors say Sprague manipulated the victim’s will and trust, pocketing more than $300,000 and leaving his own family out. With charges ranging from $100K to $50K embezzlement, he’s out on a $50K bond but could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted. The state AG calls the case a priority, vowing justice for the victim and family, with trial set for October 6th in the 55th Circuit Court.
