Over the course of several months, a La Grange woman allegedly defrauded a victim out of approximately $40,000 in a calculated scheme involving numerous transactions.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Crystal Marie Anderson, 37, on charges including exploitation of an older or disabled adult and obtaining property by false pretenses.
Due to the ongoing nature of the alleged fraud — which investigators say involved “multiple transactions spanning several months” — Anderson is now facing nearly 200 individual charges.
She is currently being held at the Wayne County Detention Center under a $130,000 secured bond.
Authorities have not disclosed the identity of the alleged victim or the methods Anderson may have used to gain their trust.
