## Resource

A shocking case in Cole County reveals how Michelle Weaver, the power of attorney for an elderly resident, stole nearly $34,000 meant for their nursing home care between 2022 and 2025, funneling funds into her own accounts. Investigators uncovered hundreds of withdrawals, and Weaver allegedly admitted to taking $10,000–$20,000. She now faces charges for financial exploitation and misappropriation, with an arrest warrant issued and a $20,000 bond set — a stark warning about the critical need to safeguard vulnerable individuals’ finances.
