GADSDEN, Alabama -- An Attalla woman has been charged in connection with financially exploiting an elderly person.
Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin said in a news release that Jennifer Nicole Rosson, 38, was arrested on March 25 and has been charged with one count of financial exploitation of a elderly person.
Investigators say Rosson was the elderly person's caregiver. She allegedly transferred money from that person’s savings account into a checking account belonging to the person, and then withdrew the amount that had been transferred. She transferred and withdrew more than $2,500, authorities said.
The charge of financial exploitation of an elderly person comes under the Protecting Alabama’s Elders Act, which went into effect last August.
Rosson is being held in the Etowah County Detention Center on $5,000 property bond
