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.

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.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she's on drugs.
ReplyDeleteOf 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.
