Tucson hairstylist found guilty of stealing $300K from elderly woman

PHOENIX — A Tucson hairstylist was found guilty of stealing $300,000 from a 94-year-old woman after authorities said she unlawfully used her power of attorney privileges.

The woman, Supranom “Addy” Klos, was found guilty on fraud and theft charges from an investigation that showed she bought a new car and dental implants with the woman’s money.

Klos was found guilty on one count of fraudulent schemes, three counts of theft, one count of fraudulent use of a credit card and one count of unlawful use of power of attorney, according to a press release from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

She faces four years in prison. A sentencing date has not been scheduled.

Klos, who was the woman’s hairstylist, transferred large sums of the woman’s money into her own bank account, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office said.

Bank officials alerted authorities after they learned the money was being withdrawn from the account.

The 94-year-old victim, who has dementia, gave Klos power of attorney privileges after her husband passed away in 2011.
