A former Bank of America employee, Mario Martinez, was arrested and faces several charges after a co-worker reported that he was stealing funds from a disabled woman in southwest Miami-Dade County.
Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced the charges at a press conference.
“Today, Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and Office of the State Attorney – Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced the arrest of Mario Martinez. This investigation was a collaboration between the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Organized Crime Bureau and the State Attorney’s Elderly and Vulnerable Adult Task Force.
“Whenever we learn of potential wrongdoing, we promptly investigate, fully cooperate with regulators and law enforcement, and work with the client to compensate them for any harm caused by an employee,” Bank of America spokesperson Bill Halldin said in a written statement.
Martinez was arrested Dec. 23 and is being held without bond at the Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correction Center.
