MAN CONVICTED OF STEALING MONEY FROM DISABLED QUAKERTOWN RELATIVE

Patrick Alderton

A Bucks County jury convicted a 46-year-old man of stealing more than $38,000 from a disabled relative and creating fake invoices to hide some of his spending.

Patrick Wayne Alderton, formerly of Whitehall Township, was found guilty on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received, theft by unlawful taking, unlawful use of a computer and other computer crimes, receiving stolen property and misapplication of entrusted property.

Following the verdict, President Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. remanded Alderton to Bucks County Correctional Facility under $250,000 bail, 10 percent, to await sentencing.

The investigation began in Oct. 22, 2020, after Bucks County Detectives received information related to the alleged misappropriation of funds by Alderton, the personal representative of a relative’s estate, during a guardianship case being heard in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.
