Williams allegedly took over $10,000 from an elderly person with dementia, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

Williams was “formerly a caretaker for the victim, but did not have authority over the victim’s finances.”

Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records indicate the theft happened between the end of March 2023 and the beginning of July 2023.
