ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI — September 2026

A caregiver in St. Louis County has been arrested after investigators accused her of financially exploiting a vulnerable nursing-home resident through hundreds of unauthorized Cash App transactions.

Dajuana L. Dobbs, of Spanish Lake, was arrested September 16, 2026, and charged with stealing $25,000 or more, identity theft, fraudulent use of a credit/debit device, and conspiracy to commit a felony.

338 Transactions Investigated

Police say that 338 Cash App transactions totaling $98,392.42 were made involving the resident’s financial accounts.

The transactions occurred between September 26 and October 31, 2025, while the victim was living at:

Athene Nursing and Rehabilitation in Town and Country.

According to police, the resident has multiple sclerosis and requires assistance with many daily activities.

A private caregiver reportedly discovered suspicious financial activity and notified the nursing facility and police.

Investigators reportedly learned that the resident told police she did not have a Cash App account and had never authorized the transactions.

The “Princess Bellamy” Account

Police allege that Dobbs previously helped the resident purchase shoes through Amazon.

Investigators say that afterward, information from two of the resident’s debit cards was added to a Cash App account operating under the name “Princess Bellamy.”

According to the probable-cause statement, investigators identified connections between Dobbs and that identity, including addresses, an email address and social-media accounts.

Police also reportedly identified another person they believe may have participated in the alleged scheme.

That individual had not been charged at the time of the September 21 report.

Dobbs remains jailed on a reported $50,000 cash-only bond.

A bond-reduction hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2026, and a criminal setting is scheduled for October 29, 2026, according to the September 21 reporting.

Cases involving elderly, disabled or medically vulnerable people are an important reminder that caregiving involves trust — and financial access can create additional risks.

The Town & Country Police Department states that incident reports may be available to the public under Missouri’s Sunshine Law, while investigative records have additional restrictions.
