LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – An employee of the Jefferson County Clerk's Office is facing charges accused of exploiting her brother's health condition so she could dip into his finances.
According to the arrest warrant, 40-year-old Jennifer Reardon was awarded guardianship of her brother from August 2009 to November 2011. Police said she was put in charge of her brother and his finances due to his numerous health issues.
The money was supposed to benefit her brother, but instead investigators said she spent $17,000 on other things.
Reardon is being charged with exploiting an adult.
