A Paola woman has been ordered to pay nearly $18,000 in restitution for her conviction on charges of mistreatment of an elder person and insurance fraud. Kansas Attorney General Kobach says 47-year-old Nanci Rowlett, of Paola, was sentenced Thursday in Miami District Court on one count of mistreatment of an elder person and one count of committing a fraudulent insurance act. Both are felony counts. District Court Judge AnyHartharth sentenced Rowlett to pay $10,100 to Colonial Life and Accident Insurance Company and $7,572.52 to various individual victims. Rowlett was also sentenced to 24 months of probation and 12 months of post-release supervision.
The case was investigated by the Kansas Insurance Department, the Paola Police Department, and the Fraud and Abuse Litigation Division of Kobach’s office.
