Conservator Cheated Grandmother

Charges have been filed against a man accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his grandmother. Jervon Ware, the grandson, is her court-appointed conservator.

Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell says Ware cheated his grandmother out of nearly $37,000. The money was taken over a period of about three years, from social security checks and Catholic Social Service pension checks.

Ware is accused of using the cash buy drugs and alcohol, and to support his girlfriend and her daughter. Pickell says he even purchased two cars using his grandmother's funds.

According to investigators, Ware even remortgaged her home twice to replace the money he was spending, allegedly right before audits were done as part of his court-appointed conservatorship.

Pickell: "The courts placed him in a very trusting position and he violated that trust."

This bottom feeder MUST be given a harsh punishment with full restitutuio if it takes him the rest of his life.

No reducing charges - no mercy - throw the book and the bench at him.

Yes, he must be held accountable and set the standard that nobody gets away with cheating an elderly person - grandmother or not.

We don't really know if he really did what they said. We know the courts and lawyers immediately malign and I think we mustn't be too quick to believe what we are hearing.

He could be scum -- or they could just be painting him as scum.
