OXFORD, Miss. (Press Release) — On Monday, November 10 the Oxford Police Department arrested Heather Cox, 38, Clarksdale, for exploitation of a vulnerable adult.

On Saturday, October 11 a victim reported that her elderly relative, whom she has guardianship over, was exploited by Heather Cox.  The victim’s family advised Ms. Cox had the victim sign checks for more than $20,000 for lawn work — grass cutting, leaf raking, etc. —  that was not done on the victim’s property.

After all information was gathered and a total amount was figured, investigators filed charges on Cox.

She has been arrested and her bond is being held due to an MDOC hold. Ms. Cox is out on probation, a bond may be issued later in the week if MDOC takes off their hold.
