New York Attorney General Letitia James charged Queens resident Mark Salkey with stealing the Brooklyn home of Althea Garrick, an elderly woman with dementia, through forged documents and fraudulent transfers. Salkey allegedly rented parts of the home to tenants while Garrick and her ex-husband lived in a single bedroom, collecting over $70,000 in rent and stealing approximately $148,000 from Garrick and $20,000 from her ex-husband’s pension.
