Pineville woman charged with financially exploiting her elderly father

The McDonald County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a financial exploitation of the elderly charge against a Pineville woman who allegedly took money from her father who suffers from Alzheimer's, didn't give him his medication and let him live in filth.

In addition to the charge against Crystal L. Gentry, (DOB 1974), her daughter, Rachel Icenogle (DOB 1994, Muskogee, Oklahoma, was also charged with financial exploitation of the elderly.

The allegations against Gentry (DOB 1974) are detailed in the probable cause statement:

 The reporting person also stated monies were being taken from {the victim's} bank account by the suspect.

Arriving at the residence I observed mounds of dishes on the counter and sink, growing mold. I observed it was approximately 95 degrees out and there was only one tiny window AC unit, barely circulating air.

I observed the victim sitting in his recliner, while roaches and bugs crawled throughout the residence. The victim had dirty, dingy clothes. The victim had greasy hair and had a stench to his person, seeming like he had not been bathed in some time.

According to medical records, the victim had COPE, dementia, Alzheimer's, he was a diabetic and had an issue with his foot due to the diabetes that required medical attention.

The medication in the residence was filled sometime in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The suspect stated she was giving the victim his medication for his diagnoses and medical conditions. By the medication bottles found, this was not a true statement.

After reviewing the victim's medical records, it appears he had not been seen for his condition in approximately 1 to 2 years. The reporting person stated his account was overdrawn $408 to $700 every month after the monies had been spent.

The reporting person stated the suspect was the only person in possession of the victim's debit card. The victim cannot drive, nor does he leave the residence.

The probable cause statement notes that Gentry has a "lengthy history of theft, carrying a weapon and drug possession charges."

Icenogle's probable cause statement alleges she stole the 28 acres of land the man owned, convincing him to sell her his land for $10. When he was interviewed by a McDonald County deputy he was unaware of the sale and he said he owned the land.

After speaking with the victim, he was unable to provide the correct year or who the president was. The victim did not seem to be of sound mind.
