VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - An exotic dancer moved in
with an elderly man she met while working then stole more than $38,000
from him, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Investigators said one of the man's family members contacted them in May to report the exploitation.
Chalsey O'Brien, 27, was found to have moved into the man's Volusia
County home in 2018 after meeting him at the club where she worked, a
news release said. Between September 2018 and May, she
withdrew $38,448.80 in cash from the man's checking account and made
unauthorized transfers, according to authorities.
Agents said she used the victim's debit card
and other personal information to order $12,951.94 worth of
merchandise, which she then sold for cash.
O'Brien also transferred money from the
man's money market account to his checking account by phone so he
wouldn't discover the theft, records show.
O'Brien was arrested Wednesday on a charge
of grand theft of a victim over 65 and criminal use of personal
identification information of a victim over 60. She's being held at the
Volusia County Jail.
