CARLISLE, Pa. — Police have charged a Cumberland County woman with physically abusing and stealing money from an elderly man she was caring for.
Jacqueline Marie Williams, 35, of Mechanicsburg, is charged with a felony count of financial exploitation of an older adult and two misdemeanor counts of abuse of a care-dependent person, according to Middlesex Township Police.
Williams is accused of physically restraining and abusing the 67-year-old victim during an argument in June 2025 and making two unauthorized withdrawals totaling $3,100 from his bank account in July 2025, according to police.
Williams served as a personal caretaker to the victim, who is legally blind, mostly confined to a wheelchair and has suffered from "a multitude of moderate to severe medical issues," for about four years, according to police. She had access to his bank accounts to assist him with general banking, paying bills, and paying for activities, groceries, and other personal care needs, police said.
The victim also gave her a new car for her own use and allowed her mother to have access to a second vehicle he left in their custody, according to police.
The victim lived with Williams, her mother, and a friend of Williams in the past, according to police. While Williams had permission to access the victim's bank accounts, he reported, her mother and friend did not -- nor did they have his permission to use his bank cards or spend his money.
According to the victim's report, Williams pinned his arms down and poked him in the face during an argument in June 2025, and put her hands around his neck and choked him during another argument the next day.
She also conspired with her friend to make two unauthorized withdrawals from his account for a total of $3,100 in July 2025, according to police.
