PRINCETON -- A woman is behind bars after attempting to steal thousands of dollars from a 91-year-old St. Albans woman.

Pattie Carson is charged with misappropriation of funds and assets of the elderly. State Police said she tried to steal a $25,000 cashier's check from Sophia Nelson of St. Albans.

Police say Carson left Nelson in the tub for several hours at the Princeton Comfort Inn.

The room flooded and hotel workers called an ambulance for Nelson. When Carson came back to the room police saw her trying to pack up and take the check. Carson is being held at the Southern Regional Jail.

This Lady has been suffering from Bi Polar and depression for over 15 years. She needs help, now I hope she gets the help she needs, not jail. An institution that can deal with the real issues.
