MOBILE, Alabama -- A woman accused of stealing thousands of dollars from her 84-year-old employer turned herself in to authorities on Monday afternoon, according to Mobile County Metro Jail records.

Authorities booked Suavonya Shantal Sykes, 37, on 12 counts of fraudulent use or possession of a credit card and one count each of first-degree theft and first-degree financial exploitation of the elderly.

On Nov. 5, Mobile Police Department spokeswoman Ashley Rains said Sykes used her employer's debit card multiple times at stores throughout Mobile and Prichard.

She stole about $15,000 over the course of four months while working as a caretaker for an 84-year-old woman, Rains said.

Sykes has no known prior arrests in Alabama, according to court records.
