ESCANABA, MI-- An Escanaba woman accused of embezzling from a resident at the Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette has been sentenced.
Frances Kreft, 37, allegedly took more than $100,000 in VA benefits, pension, and Social Security from a senior with dementia. She pleaded guilty last month to embezzlement between $20,000 and $50,000 from a vulnerable adult.
Kreft was sentenced to nine months in the Delta County Jail and ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution. The judge ordered her to find and maintain employment so the money could be paid back.
