CRESTVIEW — William Eddins, State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit, announced today that Elizabeth Stebbins Kollar has been sentenced to 10 years prison on the charges of exploitation of the elderly over $10,000.
The charges arose in late 2014 when it was discovered that Kollar, a registered CNA, who was acting as the caregiver for the 81-year-old victim, had stolen over $26,000 from the victim over several months.
Kollar also had fraudulently obtained a $10,000 life insurance policy on the victim, making herself the beneficiary.
The Crestview Police Department was responsible for the investigation and arrest.
Assistant State Attorney Laresa Dudley was responsible for the prosecution. Circuit Judge Michael Flowers imposed the sentence.
