PADUCAH — A 58-year-old woman was arrested after Paducah police say she neglected an 80-year-old woman in her care and exploited her financially.
Marina E. Martin was arrested Tuesday on a charge of knowingly abusing/neglecting an adult and knowingly exploiting an adult for more than $300.
The Paducah Police Department says its investigation began after a neighbor found the 80-year-old woman in need of medical care and called 911. The woman was taken to a local hospital and treated for malnourishment and skin deterioration, the police department says in a news release.
According
to police, Martin was responsible for caring for the woman and her
finances, which she also allegedly neglected. Police say Martin spent
about $4,000 of the woman's money on "non-essential items" rather than
on the woman's rent and care.
