(KMZA)--A Wamego woman has been convicted of the mistreatment of a dependent adult.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said a Pottawatomie County jury found 54-year-old Jana Paczkowski guilty Monday of one felony count of mistreatment of a dependent adult.

The case stemmed from an investigation by the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office.

Schmidt said that investigation discovered that between August 2017 and October 2017, while serving as the trustee of a special needs trust for a dependent adult, Paczkowski used money from the special needs trust for her own benefit rather than for the beneficiary.

District Judge Jeff Elder, who presided over the trial, has scheduled sentencing for July 18.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Paul Brothers of Schmidt’s office.
