HARALSON COUNTY, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A 62-year-old man is facing multiple charges after abusing an elder person, according to the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office.

62-year-old Kenneth Wayne Kimball was charged with exploitation of an elder person, identity theft and financial transaction card fraud, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies opened an investigation following a report of financial exploitation and identity theft targeting an elderly person in September 2023.

“I commend the family for being so proactive and protective of their loved one. Crimes against the elderly are a bane to our society. Those who prey on our seniors’ citizens must be held accountable for their actions,” said Sheriff Stacy Williams.
