| August 3, 2010 PADUCAH, KY – A local man has been arrested for using his mother's living expenses for his own shopping spree. Since November of 2008, 81-year-old Anna Scott has been a resident of Paducah Center for Rehabilitation. Her son, Artie Scott, was her Power of Attorney before he was removed and Public Guardian Ken Anderson took over. Artie Scott was notified that the bill for his mother's stay at the Paducah Center had not been paid. He was interviewed by McCracken County Sheriff's Deputies and was recorded admitting that he used his mother's money to make numerous purchases from Wal-Mart, Sams Club, Best Buy, and Circuit City on items for himself instead of making payments to Paducah Center for his mother's care. Artie Scott was charged with Knowingly Exploiting an Adult By Person over $300 and lodged in the McCracken County Jail. That charge is a C felony and is punishable by 5 to 10 years. |
