Danise Adkins, a 55-year-old caregiver, was
arrested Wednesday on charges of exploitation of the elderly and
fraudulent use of a credit card.
According to her Crestview Police Department arrest report, 55-year-old Danise Adkins was arrested on January 15.
The report states that Adkins was employed as a home health care provider for the victim when the alleged crimes occurred.
According to the report, Adkins took possession of the victim’s Eglin Federal Credit Union debit card and made seven fraudulent purchases totaling $334.20 during a two-month period.
According to the report, Adkins used the card for a $90.25 purchase at Out O’ Space Storage in Cantonment. Adkins told deputies the victim allowed her to use the card to pay the monthly payment for her daughter’s storage.
Adkins also used the card to make a purchase of $56.21 at Bealls Outlet in Milton, the report said. Adkins was recorded on the store’s security camera making the purchase with the victim’s card.
Other purchases made by Adkins with the victim’s card included food and various nail salon appointments.
On September 21, Adkins was recorded at Eglin Federal Credit Union trying to make a balance inquiry on the card but was denied, the report said. She was terminated from her job two days later, according to the report.
According to the report, the victim told deputies he did not authorize any of the purchases Adkins made, the report said.
Jail records indicate that Adkins was released on $3,000 bond four hours after her arrest. Court records show she is set to plea on Feb. 18.
