On June 25, 2025, Charles Schumer, 75, of Freeland, was arraigned in the 70th District Court in Saginaw for allegedly embezzling from a vulnerable adult, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Schumer is charged with one count of Embezzlement of $100,000 or more by an Agent and one count of Embezzlement from a Vulnerable Adult, $100,000 or More, each a 20-year felony. It is alleged that Schumer, while functioning as an attorney-in-fact for a relative, embezzled more than $200,000 of her retirement assets into his business account. Schumer also allegedly used his authority to make purchases that yielded no benefit to the vulnerable adult. “Too often, we see the assets of vulnerable adults unlawfully siphoned away when they move into a residential care setting,” Nessel said. “My department will continue to hold accountable those who abuse their authority to exploit others.”
