Sullivan County resident Miranda J. Stickle, age 27, of Livingston Manor, was arrested on Wednesday, Oct. 12, for two counts of grand larceny, said Trooper Steven Nevel.
An investigation into the incident began in September when state police were contacted about possible misuse of credit cards and a missing vehicle, Nevel said.
The investigation revealed that the victim was in the hospital for three months and gave permission for Stickle to use her debit card to make purchases for her and to use her 2007 Black Nissan Pathfinder, he added.
The victim said she had not heard from Stickle since Tuesday, July 19. During the investigation, it was determined that Stickle did make unauthorized charges using the victim’s debit card and was in possession of the vehicle, Nevel said.
In addition to the two counts of grand larceny, Stickle was also charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and unlawful use of a credit card, state police said.
She was released on an appearance ticket.
