Detectives discovered that Turner allegedly conducted 25 unauthorized transactions over approximately one month using the victim’s ATM card.
Investigators reviewed bank records, electronic devices, and other evidence to determine the loss.
“This is exactly the kind of crime that makes my blood boil. A good person works their whole life, only to be swindled by a lazy lowlife whose only goal is to take from others. Shame on her. We will continue to protect our senior citizens and hold those who prey on them accountable,” Sheriff Richard K. Jones of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office said.
Turner is booked in the Butler County Jail.
