York Woman Convicted in Adult Abuse Case

Elder-Neglect(AP) — A 29-year-old York woman has made a plea deal and been convicted in an abuse case involving a vulnerable adult.

Lindey Steider pleaded no contest earlier this week after prosecutors lowered her charges. Prosecutors also are recommending probation for Steider.

Deputy York County Attorney Benjamin Dennis says an elderly woman with significant health issues employed Steider for help with daily tasks.

Dennis says that when Steider went grocery shopping for her employer, Steider bought items for herself but charged them to the woman’s food stamp card.

Dennis also says restitution has already been paid.

Steider’s sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 2.
