An Augusta woman was arrested last week for exploiting an elderly woman.

Latasha Monique Staten, 37, was charged with exploitation of elderly or disabled person and financial transaction card fraud. According to arrest warrants, Staten used the elderly woman’s bank card to buy merchandise from several businesses in the amount of $533.

She used the card without the authorization of the cardholder and with the intent to defraud the victim, the warrants state. Staten was the victim’s personal caretaker and used the card around nine times for personal purchases, when she was only supposed to use the card for purchases for the victim.

Staten is being held at Charles B. Webster Detention Center on a $5,700 bond.
