'Deed theft' daughter accused of kidnapping dad, bilking social security payments
"Carmella Charrington showed up to court without her dad, Allman, 84, who suffers from Alzheimer's and is technically a ward of the state of Georgia - despite demands and promises that he would appear in Brooklyn Supreme Court and be returned to his home in Georgia after leaving three years ago. Instead of her dad, roughly 15 supporters showed up, and were so disruptive to the proceedings that a handful were removed by court officers, who beefed up their numbers in anticipation."
"Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Rachel Freier demanded to know where Allman was, but never got a clear answer from his daughter's attorney, Tricia Lindsay. "He's been living in New York for over two years at 212 Jefferson St.," Lindsay said. "Is he there now?" Freier said, cutting her off. "Well, your honor," Lindsay replied, "Ms. Charrington is here now, so someone has to be with him.""
"While Carmella claims she and her father are victims of deed theft, the state of Georgia says her father is a victim of kidnapping. "Carmella orchestrated the abduction of Allman Charrington," said attorney David Laniado, representing the state of Georgia, who demanded the court place her back in custody. Laniado said sheriffs looking for Allman have been unable to find him, and claimed he "is being ping-pong'd from house to house.""
Carmella Charrington appeared in Brooklyn Supreme Court without her 84-year-old father, Allman Charrington, who has Alzheimer’s and is a ward of the state of Georgia. The court had expected him to be returned to his Georgia home after leaving three years earlier, but he did not attend hearings. Charrington’s supporters disrupted proceedings, and some were removed by court officers. After a prior court date, she spent five days in Rikers. She also participated in an anti-eviction protest outside a Bed-Stuy home where Councilmember Chi Osse was arrested. A Georgia attorney alleged she orchestrated the abduction, and sheriffs have been unable to locate Allman, describing him as being moved between homes. The judge demanded to know where he was, but received unclear answers from Charrington’s attorney.
