In November, Deputies received a report of money being stolen from the room of a resident at the Brook of Roscommon. The management of the Brook has been working alongside of investigators since that time to identify an offender.
Over the course of the investigation, additional victims were identified within the Brook assisted living center. Some victims were missing cash, and some had experienced fraudulent use of their credit cards.
On Dec. 30, Makayla Coombs, a 22-year-old woman from Saint Helen, Michigan was arrested in connection with these crimes. Coombs was working as a resident care professional at the Brook of Roscommon, with access to the victims of these offenses.
Coombs was arraigned Monday in the 82nd District Court on a felony charge of unlawful possession of a financial transaction device and an additional felony charge of larceny in a building. Additional incidents and charges remain under investigation and ultimately must be reviewed by the Roscommon County Prosecutors Office.
Anyone with additional information reference these crimes is encouraged to call the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office at 989-275-5101 to speak to investigators.
