BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Niagara County homecare nurse has admitted to stealing more than $11,000 from a patient.
Wendi Jo Oliver, 40, of Barker pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree.
Investigators say Oliver was employed as a homecare nurse for an adult with cerebral palsy in Clarence. They say Oliver falsified timesheets between February 1, 2018 and December 1, 2019. By doing that, Oliver unlawfully collected $11,700 in pay through the victim's trust fund.
Oliver was terminated from her position and she has paid full restitution to the victim.
She could face up to a year in jail when she is sentenced in April.
