A Florida couple were arrested last week for swindling an 82-year-old veteran and giving him a habit of drugging.
According to the police, Jessica Henry, 31, and Gregory Dushan, 28, have forced a US Coast Guard veteran to get more than $ 50,000, as well as property. The couple would have spent more than $ 500 of that money on drugs each day.
The victim, aged 82, called the Veterans Crisis Center and informed the agency that his bank account had a negative balance and that he thought the only solution was to end his life, the statement said. .
Henry contacted the victim again six months ago, claiming that she needed $ 350 a day to pay for urine tests as part of her probation for a recent arrest. Dushan, pretending to be Henry's probation officer, also called the victim daily to charge between $ 150 and $ 1,000.
Henry and Dushan have been charged with exploiting an elderly person between $ 20,000 and $ 100,000. Dushan was charged separately for posing as a correctional / probation officer.
