While a 79-year-old grandmother was about to get evicted from her nursing home, police say her granddaughter and granddaughter’s husband were stealing her money.
Police say the Louisville couple stole tens of thousands of dollars to settle their personal debt. They are facing criminal charges of financial exploitation and theft and a potential of 20 years in prison if convicted of the crimes.
Detective John Fogle with Louisville Metro Police has been keeping a file of Kasey and Aaron Jarvis. Police say the married couple stole $80,000 - 90,000 dollars from Kasey’s grandmother while she was in a nursing home.
“This woman is in her twilight years and wants to live comfortably and now she can’t because they have pretty much squandered away all her life savings because she was selfish and thinking of herself instead of her grandmother, said Fogle.

Couple Charged With Stealing $80,000 or More From Grandmother
A system forcing the thieves to repay the money by working seems fair.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this nursing home would consider manual labor from the granddaughter and her husband cleaning restrooms, halls, laundry, etc. in payment for the elderly womans monthly rent. Sounds like restitution to me!
It's a shame. And it's also a shame that what brought this to light was the nursing home debt.
