WARREN — A Southfield man was arraigned in 37th District Court Sept. 25 for allegedly embezzling more than $7,000 from eight adults in the Mission Point Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of Warren.
Alex Ambrose, 27, a manager at the nursing home, was charged with four counts of embezzlement from a vulnerable adult ($200 or more but less than $1,000), a one-year misdemeanor. He allegedly deposited checks from nursing home residents into his personal accounts, which totaled $7,792.
Ambrose was arraigned before Judge Michael Chupa, who set bond at $20,000 cash or surety. The defendant posted bail and was released.
“Using a position of trust and authority to steal from vulnerable adults is reprehensible,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said. “Such behavior has consequences, and my office will work to make sure perpetrators are held accountable.”
The case is being handled by the Michigan Department of Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Division, which is the federally certified Medicaid fraud control unit for Michigan.
Ambrose’s attorney of record is Mohammed Nasser, who was not available for comment at press time.
Ambrose is scheduled for a probable cause conference at 8:45 a.m. Nov. 7 in Judge Steven Bieda’s courtroom in Warren’s 37th District Court.
