A Braddock woman working as a nurse’s aide is charged with stealing a dementia patient’s engagement and wedding rings and selling them.
The Trib reports that 39-year-old Christina Ankey was charged in connection with the incident at Redstone Highlands in Murrysville. Police were contacted August 11th by a woman whose mother suffers from dementia at Redstone Highlands, who claimed that the rings had been missing for a week, and it was unlikely that the rings fell off her fingers.
Murrysville police received a tip that a female employee from Delmont-based home care company — Dedicated Nursing Associates — had pawned an engagement ring and wedding band on June 4 at Fat Pocket Pawn in North Versailles. It’s believed that Ankey may have had to pry the rings off of the victim’s fingers.
A warrant is now out for her arrest.
