• Accused of stealing from residents
Jennifer Lynn Storm, 48, of Primghar, is accused of stealing money from several residents at the Pride Group. The criminal complaint alleges that over the course of several years Storm stole $23,358.28 from 21 different residents of the facility near Primghar.
Storm was an administrative assistant at the Pride Group from November 2020 through March of 2023 and was responsible for residents’ money. She allegedly used various techniques to defraud residents. The alleged incidents include keeping residents’ money obtained from an ATM, using their debit cards to make purchases, buying gift cards with their money, withdrawing money from a resident’s account and keeping whatever was not spent.
Storm also is alleged to have altered a signed withdrawal slip to change the amount and keep the difference, took a resident’s Social Security money and moved it to other accounts to cover up her thefts, and recorded that money withdrawn from a resident’s account was used for purposes different from what was intended.
Storm was charged with Dependent Adult Abuse (10 counts), a class D felony; Theft-1st Degree, a class C felony; and Ongoing Criminal Conduct, a class B felony. She was released from jail after posting a $35,000 cash or surety bond. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 25.
