CHARLES CITY, Iowa – One not guilty plea is entered in a case of two people accused of stealing over $100,000 from an elderly person in Floyd County.
Sondra B. Newberry, 65 of Charles City, and Charmaine R. Carr, 37 of Charles City, are charged with financial exploitation of an older individual.
Law enforcement says Newberry and Carr possessed power of attorney for their elderly victim and, between January 2020 and December 2023, they withdrew $127,837 from their victim’s bank account. Investigators say the money was not used in support of the victim’s best interest and no records were kept for receipts, payouts, or transactions.
