SAUSALITO (BCN) — Sausalito police Friday arrested a 27-year-old Vallejo resident on suspicion of making thousands of dollars in unauthorized credit card purchases, police said today.
At 1:30 p.m. at the Sausalito Police Department, an officer arrested Jennifer Lopez on suspicion of embezzlement from a dependent adult, theft by credit card and burglary.
Lopez was a caregiver for a 92-year-old person suffering from dementia, according to police. Lopez was fired after the victim’s family alleged last month that Lopez made eight unauthorized credit card purchases at businesses in Corte Madera and San Rafael.
The victim’s family then reported the allegations to police. An officer asked Lopez whether she would consent to an interview by police.
Lopez did and was arrested after the interview, police said. Lopez’s bail has been set at $400,000.
