Nebraska football announcer arrested for stealing money from elderly women

Patrick Combs, the announcer for University of Nebraska football games at Memorial Stadium, stands accused of swindling two elderly women of hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to court documents.

Combs, the stadium's public-address announcer for Husker football since 2002, allegedly used his power of attorney status with two Lincoln women, ages 88 and 92, to bilk them out of more than $363,000.

The Lincoln Journal Star says it's unclear who will be at the microphone when Nebraska opens the football season at home on Sept. 5. against BYU. Combs faces up to 70 years in prison if convicted.

It's sad to say that this happens more than anyone would guess. I once had a lawyer that sent his wife to the local nursing homes as a volunteer. She would find an idea candidate with no family or at least a weak family support unit. Next thing you know they would sign over everything. The lawyer once bragged his wife made more money than he did.

My family had to put my step father in an assisted living facility. The reason being he was giving all his assets away to neighbors and even strangers. The first week in he gave a chain saw, tractor and new computer to one of the so called volunteers at his new housing. The guy even removed him illegally to drive him to the vacant home. We got it back by threating a law suit.

There are some real scum bags in this world........
