New York CNA Charged With Grand Larceny for Nursing Home Theft
CNA Latoya Harding was arraigned recently on charges of fourth degree grand larceny, first degree offering a false instrument for filing, and second degree criminal possession of a forged instrument after she stole from a nursing home resident at Blossom South, the New York nursing home facility where she worked.
Harding reportedly stole a credit card from a 90 year old dementia resident and used it to pay household bills and make personal purchases from Wal-Mart. She also made several cash withdrawals. In all, her theft totaled approximately $2,434.57.
After theft allegations were made, Harding was fired from the nursing home facility. She reportedly filed for unemployment benefits and submitted an application for benefits using the forged signature of a Blossom South employee and claimed that she had been laid off from Blossom South. The application had clearly stated that only employers could complete the form.
