Russell Eugene Smith, 52 of Dallas, was arrested this week after reports said he portrayed himself as a lawyer and attorney during a series of meetings with dementia patients at Etowah Landing Nursing Home.
Police added that Smith proceeded to obtain over $25,000 from a woman who suffers from dementia by getting her to sign power of attorney over to him in order to gain her funds.
Smith is charged with felony theft by deception, impersonating another, and exploitation of an elderly or disabled person.
