Macomb Woman Steals $100K From Vulnerable Adult As Guardian: Officials

MACOMB COUNTY, MI — A Macomb County woman is in trouble after state officials said she stole over $100,000 from a vulnerable adult, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced.

Lisa Ludy, 52, of Macomb, was charged with one count of conducting a criminal enterprise (a 20-year felony), two counts of embezzlement between $1,000 to $20,000 (five-year felonies), one count of embezzlement between $20,000 to $50,000 (a 10-year felony), one count of embezzlement between $50,000 to $100,000 (a 15-year felony) and four counts of failure to file tax return (five-year felonies).

Lundy was given a $20,000 cash bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 4 before Judge Shepherd in Macomb County District Court 41A-1, in Shelby Township.

"Taking advantage of those in their time of greatest need is deplorable," Nessel said. "I am committed to protecting our most vulnerable and will prosecute those who exploit them to the fullest extent of the law."

State officials said Lundy petitioned her company, Community Guardian Care, Inc., in 2016 to appoint her as the guardian and conservator for the victim.

Once she was appointed by the company, Lundy stole the victim’s retirement, Social Security income and inheritance from 2016 through 2019, officials said.

Lundy also stole the profits from the sale of the victim’s home after putting it on the market, officials said.

Lundy used the victim’s bank accounts to pay personal bills and funnel money to her family’s companies, Career Health Studies, Career Health Training Corporation and Applewood Adult Foster Care Home, officials said.

Ludy also intentionally concealed the money she took from the victim and failed to file income taxes from 2016 through 2019, officials said.
