A 60-year-old Miami, Oklahoma, woman is accused of fraudulently using an elderly man's disability checks.

 Roseanne Munson is facing charges of abuse, exploitation, and neglect of a vulnerable adult in Ottawa County District Court. Munson is accused of appointing herself as the victim's advocate and depositing over $18,000 of the victim's disability checks into her own bank account. She is also accused of making herself the person payable of the victim's Social Security Disability checks.

 Munson's attorney says she is battling Stage 4 lung cancer, and has not provided Adult Protective Services receipts and bank statements.

 Court documents state Munson hindered the victim's ability to function normally, even though he is capable to do many things on his own.

Miami Police acknowledge that Munson is known in the community as an advocate for children, the elderly, and the homeless. She is out on $10,000 bail.
