Health Worker Denies Stealing From 85 Year Old Woman

A Citronelle health care worker is accused of stealing from a patient.
The Mobile County Sheriff's Office said Crystal Reid was arrested after surveillance video found her stealing.
But Reid told News Five she didn't do it.
Sheriff Sam Cochran said the family of an elderly woman Reid was caring for thought Reid was stealing her mother's money.
Cochran said, "They set up video surveillance in the residence, set up some bait money in an area where money had previously been taken from, and observed this woman, this suspect, go in that location, take money and put it upon her person, and then later leave."
When asked about the video, Reid said, "I'm not aware of that. I'm not sure of anything about that. Like I said, I've got an attorney and (I'm going to) try to start looking forward on this to get this resolved."
Cochran also said the department expects to bring two more charges against Reid.
He said, "She subsequently admitted to stealing money there previously, and, at the time of her arrest, a billfold belonging to another person was found in her vehicle, and we later determined that that billfold had been stolen from another residence where she had been by to provide hospice care."
Asked about the billfold, Reid said, "It was found to return to her son, but I was not able to get to her son because of his place of business being closed for Labor Day."
As for the woman deputies allege she stole from, Reid said, "She's precious as she can be, elderly lady. I'm sorry all this goes on right now."
Cochran said while the money stolen amounted to a few hundred dollars, Reid was charged under a state law that makes it a felony for a health worker to steal from people receiving health care in their homes.
