The Allegheny County District Attorney’s office has charged a man who allegedly stole nearly $400,000 from his own grandmother.
Stephen Zappala’s office says 45-year-old William Mason of Pittsburgh stole the money over a four-year period.
A criminal complaint states Mason was his grandmother’s power of attorney between August 2020 through August 2024.
She was placed in a Monroeville nursing home in 2023 and racked up a past due balance of more than $65,000.
Investigators say they discovered a number of cash app and checks payable to Mason to cover rent, Amazon, Lyft and other purchases.
Mason has a preliminary hearing on September 15.
