-A Marshfield woman charged with stealing prescription medications and money from vulnerable adults was sentenced in Wood County Court on Wednesday.According to court records, Amy Leikness attempted to convince a woman with memory problems to take out a $2,000 loan. This is after she had already taken $12,100 from the same woman’s bank account. Leikness was already facing similar charges in three other cases. In one case, Leikness told a woman in a wheelchair that she would work for her, but stole pain patches and almost $500 from her purse. In the 2nd case, Leikness stole pain medications from a woman suffering from leg pains. In the third case, she stole $1,000 from a Marshfield man after she promised to introduce him to a woman and help her move to Marshfield.
Back in January, Leikness was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, theft of moveable property. Several other charges were dismissed and read in. She was sentenced to 5 years in prison and 5 years of extended supervision.
