Largo, FL -- Kim Starks was arrested on Saturday for grand theft, forgery and fraudulent driver's license when she tried to withdraw over $5,000 from her mother's savings account, six months after her mom's death.
Police say Starks entered the Wachovia Bank at Largo Mall and filled out a withdrawal slip for $5,577.88, signed a name and approached the teller.
The teller noticed something wrong with the ID and called police. The woman identified herself, however the name was not the same as on the ID given to the teller.
Investigators say the ID had a taped-on photo of Starks over that of her dead mother's picture, and a pen was used to change the DOB.
She originally said she was the executor of the estate and thought this was the best way to get the money. After some more questioning, investigators determined that she isn't the executor and that her father is still alive and the owner of the account.
Starks' father is currently 81, terminally ill with cancer and living with his other daughter, who is taking care of him all the while this one tries to swindle him out of his savings.
Starks was booked into Pinellas County Jail.
