Wife guilty of draining guardsman’s funds
Posted : Wednesday May 7, 2008 7:41:32 EDT
ST. PAUL — A jury has convicted a woman of draining her husband’s investment accounts while he was serving in Iraq with the Minnesota National Guard.
It took a Ramsey County jury only a couple of hours to find Dana Kieser guilty on two felony counts of check forgery.
She was accused of forging the signature of her husband, John Kieser, to drain $25,000 from his investment accounts and to sell their Maplewood house. She used some of the money to buy a new house in Fargo, N.D.
John Kieser gave his wife “power of attorney,” before he left but said he intended her to use it only if he was incapacitated or if he died in Iraq. She said she thought incapacitated meant “not available.”
She’ll be sentenced next month. The couple is getting divorced.
