(KNZA)--Charges have been dismissed against an Elwood woman accused of the mistreatment of an elderly person.

The Kansas Attorney General's Office dismissed the case against 53-year-old Tamara Rucker earlier this month after the alleged victim died.

A criminal complaint was filed in June of last year in Doniphan County District Court charging Rucker with a felony count of mistreatment of an elder person.

She was accused of unlawfully taking control of at least $100,000 from Catherine Jane Krantz through false pretense.

The alleged offense occurred between June 1 and November 2, 2018.
