A 37-year-old Norton woman has been accused of stealing more than $44,000 from an 85-year-old relative.
Shannon M. Shook has been charged with theft from the elderly, a second-degree felony.
The Summit County Sheriff’s Office received information in December that a family member had been financially exploiting the elderly woman. Detectives found that Shook had been withdrawing funds from the woman’s bank account since July and using them for herself.
Shook was arrested Sunday and booked into the Summit County Jail.
