A Homer, Nebraska woman who owns a Sioux City accounting firm is accused of stealing more than $150,000 from an elderly client.

Terry Lockie is charged with first-degree theft and dependent adult abuse. The 63-year-old Lockie owns Terry Lockie & Associates.

Court records say Lockie had power of attorney for an elderly woman who was suffering from dementia.

The documents allege that Lockie took money from her client's accounts from February 2008 through February 2010, and put the funds in her own account at a different bank.

Lockie has pleaded not guilty to the charges and trial has been set for October 2nd in Woodbury County District Court. She is free on bond.
