Gregorgy Carlson from White Bear Lake was charged with theft. Carlson was the executor to his father’s estate, but instead of administering the estate according to the will he liquidated all of his father’s assets and kept the money. The estate had an upward value of $200,000 with $143,000 distributed to Carlson’s two siblings. The brothers petitioned the court to probate the will and appoint a new executor and an accounting of the estates assets. The court ordered that the money be deposited to the court or verified by a bank, but Carlson has not complied with the order yet.
