A Midland woman was arrested earlier this week after investigators said she allegedly stole credit cards from her ailing patient and then used the cards to rack up more than $60,000 in charges even after the victim died. Crystal Victoria Barela, 35, has been charged with two counts of Credit/Debit Card Abuse of the Elderly and one count of Fraudulent Use/Possession of Identifying Information, all third-degree felonies.
