theft

A man detained by authorities in northern Iowa is described as a "subject of interest" in the crime.

The charges state that he spent the money at the Treasure Island Casino and in Las Vegas.

He is accused of physically intimidating the victim into withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars from his bank account.

At the time of his arrest, he was free on bail after being charged with aggravated robbery in Owatonna.

Court records say DNA evidence linked the 23-year-old woman to the crime.

She is accused of stealing from a vulnerable adult she had worked with through a residential and in-home care services company.

She and her former husband were accused of ripping off a vulnerable elderly man living in a local memory care unit.

The defendant who failed to show up in court recently had his bail reduced from $500,000 to zero.

Court records show he has more than two dozen theft-related convictions dating back to 1992.

He was the chief financial office for an Oronoco area business.

The woman convicted in the case bankrupted her employer trying to meet the demands of the scammer.

Court documents say he had taken meth, heroin, and mushrooms.

He admitted submitting for double the hours he worked each month.

He is very well known to local law enforcement officers and the courts.
