Health aide charged with stealing from Corning man

An Elmira woman was charged this week with stealing more than $2,000 from an elderly man who was in her care.

Tara Girardi, 28, a home health aide who lives on Allen Street in Elmira, was charged with fourth degree grand larceny.

The theft was reported by a family member of the victim, Corning police said. Some of the missing money has been recovered but not all of it, police said.

Girardi appeared in City of Corning Court on Tuesday and was released on her own recognizance. She turned herself in and is cooperating with the investigation, police said. Girardi will return to court Jan. 13.

Girardi is also under indictment for petit larceny in Chemung County on charges she stole money from a recycling firm where she was employed.
