DC resident stands charged for financially taking advantage of her 95-year-old grandfather, swindling $266,000 from him.

In a shocking turn of events, 45-year-old Erica Hopper has been arrested and charged by the Montgomery County Police for allegedly exploiting her 95-year-old grandfather. The incident, which took place in Montgomery County, Maryland, came to light after a family member filed a complaint against Hopper in November 2021.

The charges against Hopper were filed due to concerns about her not acting in her grandfather's best interest and the misuse of power of attorney. Hopper was granted power of attorney in December 2020, allowing her to manage her elderly relative's financial affairs.

The investigation into Hopper's actions revealed details about the unauthorized financial decisions she made on behalf of her elderly relative. Reportedly, the unauthorized expenditures included car payments, cosmetic surgery, designer clothing, concert tickets, and rent for a luxury apartment in Washington, D.C. The bank that transferred approximately $266,000 for these unauthorized expenses under Erica Hopper's management of her grandfather's finances is not specified in the available information.

The investigation was initiated due to concerns that Hopper was not acting in her grandfather's best interest. The family member who reported Hopper's actions to authorities expressed their worries about Hopper's financial decisions and her apparent disregard for her grandfather's well-being.

Erica Hopper was released on bond after being charged on August 27, 2022. However, the article does not mention any legal consequences Hopper may face as a result of the charges. The article also does not provide any information about Hopper's occupation or previous history beyond the power of attorney granted in December 2020.

This case serves as a reminder for families to stay vigilant and ensure that those entrusted with the care of their elderly relatives are acting in their best interests. It also highlights the importance of reporting any suspected instances of elder abuse to authorities.
