A caregiver who admitted using a credit card stolen from her patient was sentenced to four years probation Monday and ordered to make restitution. If Megan Graf successfully completes the requirements ordered by Circuit Judge Patrick Robb, her record will not reflect the conviction on forgery charges.

Court documents asserted the 20-year-old St. Joseph woman worked for a local home health company and was the victim’s caretaker. An investigator said he found the victim’s ID and credit card in Graf’s purse.

Court documents said security video at two stores showed the defendant using the stolen credit card and signing the victim’s name to the receipt. She pleaded guilty March 27.

Judge Robb suspended imposition of sentence and ordered four years probation to be supervised by the state’s Board of Probation and Parole. He said Graf must maintain full-time employment, but not in home health care. The court used the defendant’s cash bail to pay $83.59 in restitution.
