A Superior woman who admitted making nearly $5,000 worth of cash withdrawals from the account of her personal care client has been given a chance to avoid a felony record.
Kim Lynette Spry, 57, of Superior pleaded no contest July 11 in Douglas County Circuit Court to felony theft in a business setting. A deferred judgment of conviction agreement was reached. She was ordered to pay $4,974 restitution, court costs and surcharges. If Spry makes $208 in monthly payments and stays out of trouble with the law for the next two years, the charge would be amended to a misdemeanor.
According to the criminal complaint:
While working as a personal caregiver, Spry had access to a client’s credit card to buy personal items for the client. Over an eight-month period from 2014 to 2015, Spry made multiple unauthorized purchases and cash withdrawals totaling $4,974 from the account without the client’s permission. Spry told Detective Chris Moe with the Superior Police Department that she used the credit card to get cash advances and play the gambling machines at bars and casinos.
