A Decatur woman has been indicted on identity theft charges after investigators say she took $91,000 from an elderly woman.

Melissa Ann Hale, 54, of Decatur, was arrested Tuesday and is being held on a $200,000 bond, according to court records.

There are no hearings set in the case yet.

Hale last year was first accused of bilking a 79-year-old out of tens of thousands of dollars.

Decatur police said that a representative of Morgan County Department of Human Resources filed a report in reference to potential financial exploitation of the victim.

Investigators later determined that 29 checks totaling $91,000 were deposited into Hale’s account without the victim’s knowledge or permission. The withdrawals took place from 2018 through 2021, according to court records.
