Muskingum County Prosecutor Mike Haddox says a Zanesville woman pleaded guilty to the theft of elderly victims at an area nursing home. Haddox says 46-year-old Patricia Thomas plead guilty to 16 counts of theft at Emeritus at North Hills. The prosecutor says Thomas stole jewelry and cash from the nursing home residents between October of 2012 and June of 2014.

Haddox says after they completed their investigation the case was turned over to his office for prosecution. Haddox says the cases against two co-defendants are still pending.
