Kelly Duford Williams is accused of taking funds her clients received in settlement agreements she reached while representing them.
A declaration in support of an arrest warrant states that around $280,000 was allegedly misappropriated from eight victims. Some of the alleged victims have only received partial amounts of the settlement funds they were due, while others have received no money at all, the declaration states.Williams faces up to eight years and eight months in state prison if convicted of all charges.
Deputy District Attorney Gina Darvas said a U.S. Marshals' Fugitive Task Force worked"full time" to try and find Williams, to no avail.The prosecutor also noted there was both local and national media coverage of the allegations.Miller said Williams turned herself in when she learned of the charges, but Darvas said her arrest occurred differently.
When local law enforcement discovered the San Diego warrant, Williams told police she was pregnant, so she was not immediately booked into jail, Darvas said. Police arrested her the following day and took her to a medical center, where it was determined she was not pregnant, according to the prosecutor.
