Heather Nelson (Brevard County Sheriff’s Office).
A Florida housekeeper, once entrusted with maintaining domestic tranquility for her octogenarian employer, was recently arrested after a Christmas Eve confrontation escalated into an angry bout of larceny and physical violence, Sunshine State law enforcement say.
Heather Nelson, 29, stands accused of a litany of felonies, including aggravated battery, robbery, forgery, fraud, passing a counterfeit instrument, and grand theft, according to authorities and court filings in Brevard County. She also faces a lone misdemeanor fraud charge.
The incident allegedly stemmed from the victim’s inability to provide her cleaner with a requested $500 Christmas bonus.
