A housecleaner was jailed after an alleged spending spree with a credit card lifted from a home in the Village of Liberty Park.
Betsy Juanita Felske, 33, of Eustis, was arrested last week on two felony counts of fraud.
She is accused of taking a Mastercard from a 64-year-old Villager and purchasing $921.43 in merchandise on March 6 at Ross Dress for Less in Apopka. A second purchase at Babies-R-Us in Altamonte Springs was declined, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
Video obtained from Ross Dress for Less showed two women making the purchase. A detective phoned Felske and told her that there was probable cause for her arrest. Felske offered the name of her accomplice, if it “would help her stay out of jail,” the arrest report said.
Felske later surrendered at the sheriff’s Public Safety Center on Powell Road in Wildwood.
She was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $11,000 bond.
Felske was arrested last year after stealing a credit card from a frail, elderly client on oxygen.
