No, Scrooge you!
A 29-year-old Florida housekeeper robbed and assaulted her 83-year-old employer on Christmas Eve when the aged girl stated she couldn’t afford to pay her once-trusted employee a vacation bonus, authorities stated this week.
Heather Nelson, 29, turned irate when her request for a $500 bonus was rejected by her octogenarian boss — and determined to take what she needed anyway, in accordance with a press launch from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Workplace.
“Nelson responded by physically wrenching the victim’s checkbook from her hand, stealing a check from the checkbook, and then, I guess in an effort to ruin other people’s Christmas as well, stole Christmas cards that were set to be mailed out also containing checks,” Sheriff Wayne Ivey stated within the assertion.
The housekeeper, whom Ivey repeatedly known as a “Grinch,” allegedly grabbed the checkbook with such drive that she practically broke the girl’s wrist.
Nelson then allegedly wrote a examine for $1,400 — and used the sufferer’s bank card to pay her hire and make different purchases, BCSO stated.
“What’s next … kick her dog, too?” Ivey requested within the launch.
Nelson was nabbed on Jan. 7 after the examine cleared and bank card transactions have been posted, Legislation and Crime reported.
“Since you were so worried about getting your bonus, we had some extra gifts for you, like a keepsake booking photo, a slightly used pair of shower slides and unlimited access to our world-famous one-star dining facility where you can enjoy absolutely nothing you eat,” Ivey snarked within the BCSO assertion.
She faces a laundry listing of costs, together with aggravated battery, theft, forgery, fraud, passing a counterfeit instrument and grand theft, in accordance with courtroom filings reviewed by the outlet.
She was held on a $30,000 bond and launched on Jan 9, the outlet reported.
