Oklahoma Admissions Coordinator Charged with Financial Exploitation
Fifty-three year old Bobbie Jo Wilhelm was charged July 24, 2008 with eight felony counts of financial exploitation by a caretaker by Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson. The theft was uncovered after an investigation by Edmondson's Patient Abuse and Medicaid Fraud Control determined that she had cashed over $7,600 in royalty checks due a resident at Bartlesville Care Center. Ms. Wilhem has admitted to forging the resident's signature and using the money for personal matters. She was arrested by the Bartlesville Police Department and bond has been set at $25,000.
