TX Man Turns Himself in After Elderly Woman Notices $100K Missing

A man turned himself in after an elderly woman reported nearly $10,000 missing from her bank account.

Brandon Scott Smith, 41, was charged with theft of $20,000 or more but less than $100,000 from an elderly individual, a second degree felony.

In January, Smith’s step-grandmother, a Kempner resident, reported to police that funds had been taken from her bank account and she suspected Smith, police said.

A police investigation concluded that $90,988.81 was transferred to his account via the Internet, police said.

Smith was released from the Lampasas County Jail on $5,000 bond.
