Orlando Commissioner Regina Hill is accused of stealing $100K from elderly ... trends now
An Orlando city commissioner allegedly exploited a 96-year-old woman and stole more than $100,000 from her in a years-long scheme.
Regina Hill is accused by Florida investigators of securing a power of attorney over the unnamed elderly victim, which she used to buy a home while also funding a lavish spending spree.
Alongside using the woman's name to secure a mortgage, she also allegedly splashed over $100,000 on a facelift, perfume, clothing, IV vitamins, a trip to Miami and dental surgery, according to court documents from News 6.
Hill has not been arrested or charged, but is the subject of a state investigation that was triggered when the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) received a tip from one of her staffers who had been fired.

According to the documents, Hill met the woman in March 2021 in her Commissioner job, and was intended to help her get improved living conditions. Within a month, she had become her power of attorney.
She then used her power of attorney to secure a mortgage for a home in the Lake Mann Estates area of Orlando without the woman's consent or knowledge, according to investigators.
Hill's son and girlfriend are believed to be living in the home, while Hill lives in a separate home that reportedly once belonged to the elderly woman's parents, which she allegedly spent a large portion of the savings to renovate.
She is also accused of racking up over $10,000 in debt under the woman's name.
In her spending spree, she allegedly used the $100,000 on luxury-brand perfumes and beauty treatments including dental work and a facelift.
Hill also used the woman's savings for a New Year's Eve vacation to Miami, and on a large number of intravenous vitamins from a company named Vitalounge, according to the reported documents.
