Isidro Olvera

Isidro Olvera, a former housekeeper at St. Elizabeth's Place in Waco, Texas, will spend the next two years behind bars after pleading guilty to three felony forgery counts.

Olvera admitted that he stole four checks from elderly residents at the facility (ages 92, 88, and 85), filled in amounts between $450 and $650, forged the residents' signatures, and cashed the checks. In fact, he reportedly cashed some of those checks after he had been caught and termined from his position at the nursing home.

In addition to jail time, Olvera will face restitution in the amount of $2,100 - the amount of the forged checks.
