A former nursing home worker accused of cashing an elderly woman's check at a Lafayette store was arrested and booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on Monday.
Wilkins, a former employee of Golden Age of Welsh Nursing Home in Welsh, is the second person arrested in connection with the incident. Vercey Lawdins, 26, was arrested on Oct. 13 on the same charges as Wilkins, said Laura Gerdes, public information officer with the Louisiana Attorney General's Office.
Lawdins is accused of stealing a $6,050 check from an elderly resident of the nursing home. She and Wilkins then allegedly cashed the check at a Lafayette Wal-Mart store and used the money to buy 11 $550 gift cards, Gerdes said.
