An elderly northeast Missouri man's now-former caretaker is accused of taking money from him.
Nancy Cheyenne Morrison, 24, of Macon, Mo., was charged this week with felony stealing in a case that was brought to light a year ago.
According to court documents, the crime happened while Morrison was employed by Bristol Manor Residential Care Facility in Macon.
A woman who answered the phone Tuesday at Bristol Manor told KTVO that Morrison no longer works there.
The investigating police officer said in her report that Morrison stole the victim's credit card and used it to make 37 purchases for herself. Those purchases totaled more than $2,900.
The items included food, lingerie and other things. Police said the purchases were made between May 1, 2020 and Nov. 17, 2020.
During the investigation, Morrison somehow learned police were about to close in on her. Police say she called the Macon Police Department on Nov. 30, 2020, to say she was sorry for stealing the money and "knew she had made a mistake."
Authorities say Morrison told them she wanted to turn herself in and requested to be picked up at her residence.
When officers arrived, another resident told them Morrison had fled the scene just before they got there.
An
arrest warrant was issued this week. At last check, Morrison was not in
custody, according to the Macon County Sheriff’s Office.
