LANSING – An Ypsilanti man has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $100,000 from a vulnerable adult, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced today.
Calium Turnage, 59, appeared Monday in Washtenaw County Circuit Court before Judge Patrick Conlin, where he pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement from a vulnerable adult over $100,000, a 20-year felony. As part of the plea deal, Turnage will pay $140,000 in restitution and additional charges were dropped.
“The evidence clearly demonstrates that the defendant personally benefited from the victim’s vulnerable position, and in doing so violated Michigan law,” Nessel said. “Our elder populations are particularly susceptible to financial exploitations and we in law enforcement must remain vigilant and prepared to hold bad actors accountable for such transgressions
