A Dubuque man charged with misappropriating over $225-thousand dollars from his dying mother’s financial accounts while serving as the Power of Attorney has decided to plead guilty. A sentencing date hasn’t been set.
55-year old Kenneth Dean was arrested by Dubuque police in April 2023 and charged with dependent adult abuse by financial exploitation.
Dean was accused of misappropriating funds from October 2021 to the time of his mother’s death in June of 2022, during which time she was reportedly having cognitive issues.
