Gambler charged with defrauding her mother and son
Dec 3 2008
By Rob Parsons/Staff Writer
A Vallejo woman faces 15 felony charges in Colusa County, including elder abuse, fraud and forgery.
Imelda Laron Paman, 55, allegedly made dozens fraudulent deposits and withdrawals between June 17 and July 7 from the Colusa branch of Umpqua Bank, Colusa District Attorney Investigator Pamela Craig said Wednesday.
The elder abuse charge applies, Craig said, because one of the alleged fraud victims is more than 65-years-old.
Writing bad checks and making fraudulent withdrawals from three accounts – her own, her son’s and her mother’s - Paman allegedly defrauded the bank of $8,542.54.
Paman used the funds to gamble at Colusa Casino Resort, Craig said.
During a court appearance Tuesday, public defender Albert Smith was appointed to represent Paman. She is scheduled to appear in court again Dec. 17 and is expected to enter a plea.
