Bratt Woman Accused Of Elderly Exploitation, Grand Theft, Credit Card Fraud
June 14, 2025
A Bratt woman is accused of two felonies for allegedly using an elderly man’s debit card over five dozen times without his permission.
Sara Jo Workman, 43, was charged with exploitation of elderly, felony credit card fraud, grand theft, misdemeanor credit card fraud, fraud/impersonation, and larceny of a credit card. She remained in the Escambia County Jail Saturday morning with bond set at $17,500.
Workman allegedly took possession of a debit card belonging to a 77-year-old McDavid man’s account. According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Workman used the card with the name of the victim’s deceased wife 63 times in about a month in 2024 to purchase items, goods and services to totalling $1,960.
The victim told deputies that Workman had stayed in their home and worked for the couple.
The victim was alerted by his bank of suspicious charges and also noticed a $50 transaction to Escambia River Electric Cooperative. With the assistance of his bank, the victim determined that the payment was for electric service at Workman’s home on Ashcraft Road in Bratt.
Deputies were at first unable to locate Workman but were unable to interview her with the assistance of the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office when she had an unrelated court appearance in Brewton.
Investigators noted in their report that information was provided to other jurisdictions in reference to possible charged for use of the card outside of Escambia County, Florida.

Throw this woman under the jail please
Please do not let her get away with this Time for the courts to throw the book at her!!
A family’s saddest and most difficult time in their lives is caring for a beloved member that can no longer care for themselves. I know because I did it for years. It is physically and mentally exhausting but we keep the faith, praying this person is loved, happy and comfortable as long as they can possibly be. Any help is a blessing and we fear people like this who have no heart. God is watching.
