DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A Dubuque woman has been given probation for stealing from the same relative her mother is accused of victimizing. Dubuque County court records say 18-year-old Anna Billmeyer was sentenced last week to two to five years of probation and ordered to pay restitution. She’d pleaded guilty to theft. She also was given a deferred judgment, which allows Billmeyer’s conviction to be removed from court records if she fulfills her probation terms.

Her mother, 54-year-old Kathryn Billmeyer, pleaded guilty April 15 to theft and dependent adult abuse. Her sentencing is scheduled for June 24.
Prosecutors say Kathryn Billmeyer used her aunt’s money to make more than $48,000 in purchases from November 2016 to May 2018. Kathryn Billmeyer held a power of attorney and had control of her aunt’s accounts.

Prosecutors say Anna Billmeyer used the aunt’s credit card to buy nearly $1,600 worth of items.
