(KAIR)--A Leavenworth woman must pay more than $6,000 of her mother's outstanding medical bills after being found guilty of felony theft.
According to a release from the office of Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, 44-year-old Rebecca Hund was ordered by District Judge Gunnar Sundby to pay just over $6,000 to cover the unpaid medical bills incurred for the care of her mother at a Nebraska hospital.
Sundby accepted Hund's no contest plea to one count of felony theft in April.
The charge arose from an investigation by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division and the Nebraska Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud and Patient Abuse Unit into Hund's conduct between November 2007 and December 2011. Acting as durable power of attorney for her mother, Hund sold her mother's house and used some of the proceeds for her own benefit rather than care for her mother.
In addition to payment of the medical expenses, Hund was ordered to serve twelve months of probation with an underlying sentence of six months in the Kansas Department of Corrections.
