Gardendale Police have arrested a woman from Warrior, charging her with running up a bill of more than $20,000 on the credit card of an elderly woman.

Nakia Michelle Marsh, 37, was arrested on charges of financial exploitation of an elderly person, first-degree theft of property and two counts of identity theft.

The investigation began in November of last year, when the department was first notified of the possible fraud. Detective Jimmy Unangst determined that Marsh was the person responsible for more than 100 fraudulent charges on the victim's card. The charges ranged from utility bills to trips, car payments and visits to the beauty salon.

The victim is related to Marsh, GPD Lt. Bryan Lynch said in a press statement.

Marsh was arrested on Thursday. She is held in the Jefferson County Jail in lieu of $400,000 bond.
