Hanover woman accused of fraud against 71-year-old


Ashland police have arrested a 51-year-old woman accused of committing more than $30,000 worth of fraud against a 71-year-old woman who was in her care.

Angela Chisholm, 51, of the 13000 block of Cedar Lane in Hanover County, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with six felonies, including grand larceny, embezzlement and other fraud-related charges, according to officer Chip Watts, a spokesman for the Ashland police.

“Investigators identified numerous suspicious transactions over the course of several months that were not related to the care of the victim, for whom Chisholm had power of attorney,” Watts wrote in a statement. “These transactions totaled over $30,000 in cash and credit charges.”

Chisholm is being held without bond at the Pamunkey Regional Jail in Hanover, and officials are continuing to investigate the case.

  1. I don't want to be judgmental here, but this woman really looks like a thief. She was probably just scared when her mug shot was taken, but I find it revealing.

  2. She looks like she's on drugs.

  3. Of course, if this miscreant had called herself an "elder law attorney" or a "guardian ad litem" and stolen twice that amount, she would still be in business, and charging the elderly lady $250 an hour to respond to her complaints, while our hapless Virginia officials looked on and laughed.
