These stories are sad. Old people are always talking about being preyed upon by young people. However, more and more old people are the predators.
Exhibit A:
"It is not too often that we do arrest a 70-year-old man on violent crimes such as this. It's kind of unique to law enforcement," Trooper Bill Satkowski said at the time of Farley's arrest.
State police said Farley had acquaintances in Susquehanna County and that's what led him to target the elderly victims who he did not know.
Exhibit B:
Ellison, 63, is accused of stealing about $11,000 from an elderly man and trying to take his home. Charged with exploitation of an elderly person, a second-degree felony, she faces up to 15 years in prison, if convicted.
Exhibit C:
Pearl I. Westmoreland, 79, was convicted of exploitation of an elderly adult in an amount exceeding $100,000, money laundering in an amount exceeding $100,000 and aggravated white collar crime by abusing the power of attorney signed over to her by an elderly man, said Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.
And they keep attacking with their cars:
An 81-year-old El Paso driver was arrested after witnesses say his vehicle ran into a pedestrian and then hit four parked salvage cars.
And pushing drugs.
Now Puopolo, 65, is facing the likelihood of spending the rest of his life in prison following his indictment yesterday on multiple cocaine trafficking charges, including some counts that carry a 15-year minimum mandatory prison term.
