A court-appointed guardian is going to jail for stealing from a disabled military veteran under her care.
Anne L. Chavis must also pay $92,000 in restitution to eight clients, but the amount is only a fraction of the money the conservator may have pilfered.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Horwitz sentenced the 74-year-old woman on Wednesday to a year in jail and he placed Chavis on three years' probation.
Chavis pleaded guilty to forging documents and lying to the court in order to steal from a disabled veteran. Theft charges involving seven other clients were dropped.
Chavis was appointed by probate court and Veterans' Affairs officials to oversee the lives of more than four dozen vulnerable residents.
