Authorities are looking for a Webster County man who was indicted by a grand jury in a senior exploitation case.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Tuesday that a Webster County Grand Jury indicted Lawrence T. Greer, of Clay, for Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition of Property of $10,000 or more, a Class C felony.
In March 2016, Cameron says Lawrence Greer was given Power of Attorney for his step-mother, Pamela Greer. He allegedly commingled his step-mother’s funds with his own personal funds, and in 2019, he reportedly spent approximately $40,000 on items unrelated to her care, including purchasing a new truck and trailer. Cameron says after Pamela Greer was admitted to a long-term care facility in July 2019, Lawrence Greer failed to pay the facility for her care despite his legal control of her funds and responsibility for her bills.
Attorney-General Cameron says being given Power of Attorney by an aging loved one is an incredible responsibility, and individuals who abuse this responsibility by engaging in financial exploitation must be held accountable.
There is an arrest warrant pending against Lawrence Greer, and the Attorney General’s Office is asking for help from Kentuckians to locate him. Tips can be reported to DCI by calling (866) 524-3672 or emailing DCIForce@ky.gov.
