(KMZA)--A Holton woman has been sentenced in a Nemaha County elder abuse case.

According to court documents, Jennifer Taliaferro was sentenced Thursday in Nemaha County District Court to one year of probation with certain conditions on a felony charge of mistreatment of a dependent adult.

She pleaded no contest to the charge January 29th. In exchange, seven additional counts were dismissed.  

Taliaferro was originally charged last July following an investigation by the Sabetha Police Department.

Authorities say she was accused of stealing prescription medications from four residents at a Sabetha nursing home where she was employed on May 26. The criminal complaint alleged the theft deprived the residents of the use or benefit of their medications.
