District attorney Robert Manzi has announced that a Brush Valley woman will serve jail time after admitting she stole money from her elderly mother.
Sixty-five-year-old Kathy Sue Twigg pleaded guilty to financial exploitation and theft after failing to pay for her mother’s nursing home care while serving as power of attorney.
Prosecutors say Twigg instead used the money for personal expenses, including online gambling, which led to her 93-year-old mother being removed from a care facility.
Twigg was sentenced to four to nearly 24 months in the county jail, and must pay restitution, undergo mental health treatment, and is barred from serving in any fiduciary role in the future.
