Help APD locate suspects. Detectives have signed warrants for Felicia K. Ricks, 32, and Christopher D. Carson II, 31, for Theft by Deception, Misuse of Credit Card, and Identity Fraud (#20-0094942).
Between July 20, 2019 and December 31, 2019, Ricks and Carson entered into a contract with the 89-year-old victim to provide her with health care through their business, DIP Home Care (Dearly Important People, LLC). They then started misusing the victim’s credit and bank cards by making large withdraws, purchasing a vehicle, paying their own bills, and overcharging the victim for non-existent health care services.
As a result, the victim sustained a large financial loss.
