Woman sentenced for burglarizing 86-year-old woman's home in Barberton: Prosecutor
AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — A woman was sentenced to time in prison Thursday for burglarizing an 86-year-old woman's Barberton home late last year, the Summit County Prosecutor's Office announced.
The sentencing to two years in prison came after Mary Davidson had pleaded guilty to the following charges in April: burglary (second degree felony) and theft from a person in a protected class (fifth degree felony).

In December, police found Davidson inside the elderly woman's home. She told police she was there to clean carpets and drop off groceries. Police had been called to the home by the woman's son who had set up security cameras on the property and noticed an 'unknown woman rummaging through his mother's belongings,' according to police.
The homeowner told police she did not know Davidson and that she had broken into her house and stolen jewelry. This was reportedly the second time Davidson had forced her way in, according to police.

At that time, police took Davidson into custody for burglary.
'Davidson took advantage of a vulnerable member of our community, showing no regard for the safety and dignity of the elderly. I will always fight for the protection of our senior population,' Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich said in a statement.
