A Jefferson City woman is wanted on charges of financially exploiting a nursing home resident.
Court documents say Amy Shoup allegedly spent more than $52,000 of the victim’s money while serving as their durable power of attorney, despite being responsible for paying the victim’s nursing home bills.
Investigators say the victim never authorized the money to be used for anything other than their care, and Shoup admitted she used the funds to pay her own expenses instead.
She faces charges of financial exploitation and misappropriation of funds.
A warrant has been issued for her arrest with a $50,000 surety bond.
