A Heartless Woman

Mindy Greany WATERLOO,IA --- A Grundy Center woman has been sentenced to prison for stealing from people with disabilities. As a credit counseling company employee, Mindy Sue Greany, 31, oversaw the funds of the blind and mentally challenged --- people who needed help keeping track of their money. Instead, she siphoned more than $100,000 from their accounts at Family Management Credit Counselors in Waterloo. On Friday, District Court Judge Margaret Lingreen sentenced Greany to spend up to 10 years in prison for her pleas to six counts of first-degree theft, eight counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree theft.

Addicted to porn

OCTOBER 7–A Minnesota teenager arrested for burglarizing a neighbor’s home told cops that she sought to steal cash and household items to help pay for her pornography addiction, according to a police report. Amanda Owens, 18, was nabbed this week for allegedly squeezing through the doggy door to get into Darin Pake’s home in East Bethel. Pake told Anoka County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he set up a hidden camera after his home had been burglarized several times last week. On Monday, the camera recorded Owens slipping into Pake’s home around 8 AM. “The defendant is seen walking throughout the house, rummaging through Mr. Pake’s things,” according to a probable cause statement.

The teenager, deputies noted, “stated she is addicted to pornography and purchased 20 to 30 DVD’s and owed money, t...
