  • It is important to note that Hill has not been charged with a crime

Hill told Spectrum News 13 officially she cannot comment on the case but she denied the allegations against her. The 60-page court document includes a petition for a court injunction to stop Hill from using the elderly woman’s money and to keep her away from her properties.

In the petition for temporary injunction filed by attorneys, it alleges Hill held power of attorney over a 96-year-old Parramore resident.

The document alleges Hill fraudulently used the woman’s identity to purchase a home on Domino Drive in the Lake Mann community. A search of the Orange County appraiser website shows Hill listed as co-owner of the home with the 96-year-old woman who Spectrum News 13 is choosing not to identify.

The injunction also alleges Hill currently lives at the woman’s property on Lewis Court in Orlando that used to belong to the 96-year-old woman’s parents. Spectrum News 13 made a stop at the 96-year-old woman’s home on Tuesday where she was sitting on the front porch with another person who told the news station they couldn’t answer questions and that the 96-year-old woman was in no capacity to speak with reporters.

Spectrum News 13 also visited the properties mentioned in court documents, one on Lewis Court and the other on Domino Drive. No one was there.

An affidavit from a Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent lists Hill’s former aide as the person who brought forth allegations against Hill. According to that same court document, that aide was terminated by the city for making allegations against the commission.

The court documents go on to allege that through the FDLE agent’s investigation, financial documents showed that Hill used the 96-year-old woman’s money to rent a vehicle, purchase expensive perfume, clothing, and even a face lift. These purchases allegedly totaled more than $100,000. Spectrum News 13 spoke with a notary, whose name appears on the documents used in the purchase of the home on domino drive. She confirmed that the signature on those documents matches hers, but she says it was used without her knowledge. She called the document fraudulent.

Spectrum News 13 reached out to the attorneys representing the alleged victim. They said they were made aware of the allegations in February and worked with law enforcement to revoke Hill’s power of attorney and put into place a new power of attorney to protect the 96-year-old woman. The attorneys went on to say they cannot comment further on the case.

Spectrum News 13 also reached out to the city of Orlando about this matter. Officials said in a statement: 

“The City has been made aware of the injunction issued involving Commissioner Hill. We are not a part of the injunction and do not have any details on the allegations related to it.”
