TWIN FALLS, Idaho -- A former community guardian in Twin Falls has been convicted of stealing more than $6,000 from a 93-year-old woman in her care who is suffering with dementia.
Forty-eight-year-old Cindy Laws was charged in March with felony abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult. She entered an Alford Plea this week, which means she acknowledged there is enough evidence to convict her even though she didn't plead guilty.
The Times-News reports the plea is part of an agreement reached with prosecutors. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and fines up to $20,000.
She is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 28.
Laws has also been accused in a separate case of stealing $351 from another client.
