PIERRE PART, La. (KLFY) – A Pierre Part woman was arrested following an investigation in connection with a financial crime against an elderly person.

58-year-old Bonnie A. Cavalier is behind bars on a charge of exploitation of the infirmed.

According to Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon, deputies responded to a complaint in which it was alleged that Cavalier had received in excess of $2K in cash while working as a hired housekeeper for an elderly resident.

Immediately after receiving the money Cavalier left the job, Falcon said.

She remains incarcerated pending a bond hearing.
