Flomaton Woman Charged With Exploitation Of Elderly Century Resident
May 4, 2023
A Flomaton woman is charged with exploiting an elderly Century resident.
Dawn Renee Watson, 39, was charged with felony elderly exploitation and misdemeanor petit theft. She also had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended license.
The elderly victim told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that she gave her debit card to Watson, a close relative, to pick up items while she was sick, but never gave her permission for any personal use of the funds.
Watson made withdrawals to her cash app from the victim’s account totaling $669, according to an arrest report. When confronted by the victim, deputies said Watson deposited $130 for the victim but then no longer responded.
She was released from the Escambia County Jail on an $8,000 bond.

It’s sad so many people take advantage of our elderly!!!! I know a few!!! It’s sad that you sick people do it to it’s not right they work hard for what little they have and you just take advantage of them shame on you!!!
She isn’t guilty & if you knew the situation you would know that.
amazing – she has $800 on hand to post bail but refused to pay the victim back the additional $539 she stole! Go figure!
This is sad taking advantage of the elderly is happening more than being reported.The woman she was helping would have give her the money probably if asked no you had to steal it.In my opinion you are a piece of ????.
