Wilmington caregiver steals from patient
By Rachael Samuels Share

A Wilmington caregiver faces theft charges for stealing money from an elderly woman.

County police say Barbara Johnson, of West 25th Street, assisted an 84-year-old woman with basic day-to-day care.

Johnson, allegedly, wrote herself a $500 check from the woman's account and forged her name.

Johnson also opened two separate accounts for "plus-sized clothing with delivery to her home and purchased home heating oil using the elderly woman's credit card.

Johnson is charged with several counts of forgery and was released on $2,500 bail.
