DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA --
Dougherty County Police need your help finding a woman accused of bilking an elderly patient out of $7500.

Investigators say that 46-year-old Patricia Glenn has been taking money from the accounts of 86-year-old Viola Prather via debit card use. Prather had allowed Glenn to use the debit card, but only in her presence.

Officials believe that Glenn began taking money unsupervised starting back in March, making multiple withdrawals often totaling $200 to $400 a day.

Glenn is being sought on 32 charges of Financial Transaction Card Fraud and 4 counts of Exploitation of the Elderly.

“We had contact with her a couple of weeks ago and there was an interview set up and she did not show up at her schedule time and since then has moved from that location. So right now she's unable to be located,” said Sgt. Chad Kirkpatrick, with Dougherty County Police.

If you know the whereabouts of Glenn, you are encourage to contact the Dougherty County Police Department.
