Intimidation, threats and violence against a woman with health problems has her 33-year-old caregiver facing a variety of charges, sheriff's officials said today. Darren Sanders, Daytona Beach, was arrested Thursday after alert employees of the Wachovia Bank on White Street realized someone was draining the unidentified 67-year-old victim’s bank account over the past few months.
Sheriff’s spokesman Brandon Haught said the New Smyrna Beach victim had hired Sanders to care for her, but instead investigators learned he had threatened to harm her and her pets.
Sanders has been charged with false imprisonment, battery of a person 65 years or older, and grand theft, Haught said.

ReplyDeleteYou're right, Sue, a dangerous monster.

I wonder how the victim came to know this person and if she hired him without checking any references....
