TROY - A Piqua woman pleaded not guilty Thursday to a felony indictment accusing her of the theft of more than $2,000 from a disabled man’s checking account.
Kina Davis, 43, was indicted by a Miami County Grand Jury for allegedly writing two checks to herself on the account of a client of Champaign Residential Services Inc. while serving as a home manager in March.
The checks combined totaled $2,195 and were cashed at a Troy bank, according to a report by Troy police. The report said Davis allegedly was to use the client’s money to buy patio furniture for the client. The furniture was not purchased, police said.
If convicted, the charge carries a sentence of up to 18 months in prison.
Davis pleaded not guilty in Miami County Common Pleas Court. Judge Jeannine Pratt approved her released on a recognizance bond with the condition Davis has no contact with the man. A pretrial hearing for Davis is scheduled for Oct. 29.
