Clayton Yorks, 44, of Battle Creek, was arraigned in the 10th District Court in Calhoun County before Judge Michelle Richardson on one count of Embezzlement from a Vulnerable Adult, $1,000–$20,000, a 5-year felony, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Following his father’s admission to an assisted living facility in November of 2021, it is alleged that Yorks used his father’s debit card to pay his own bills and make other personal purchases in monthly sums nearly equal to that of his father’s monthly income, continuing until September of 2022. It is further alleged that Yorks had no legal authority to convert his father’s money for his own purposes.
