Bear Woman Charged With Stealing From An Elderly Female


Location: Delaware Park, 777 Delaware Park Boulevard, Wilmington, Delaware

Date of Occurrence: Wednesday, August 12th, 2009, at 1:59 a.m.

Suspect(s): Deborah Meadows, 55, of Bear, Delaware

Resume: Earlier today, Troopers were dispatched to Delaware Park Race Track and Slots for the report of a theft where the victim was an elderly female.

Troopers arrived on the scene and contacted security who told them a 77-year-old female victim came to their office to report that someone had stolen her medication.

The security staff went back and viewed surveillance footage from earlier in the evening and advised that at 1:59 a.m., a female who was later identified as Deborah Meadows, was captured on surveillance video as she approached the victim as she was playing slots.

The video showed the suspect as she engaged the victim in a conversation. While the victim was distracted, the suspect moved the victim’s walker to behind a pillar. With the walker out of sight, the suspect began to rummage through the storage bag attached to the walker. She then removed the victim’s medication.

The security staff acted quickly and located the suspect on the casino floor. They then detained her until Troopers arrived.

Deborah Meadows was formally charged with Theft (felony) and released on a $2,500.00 unsecured bond. Ms. Meadows was then transported to the New Castle County Sheriff’s Office as a computer check revealed she was wanted on an active capias.

  1. I hope Deborah Meadows spends a long time in jail and rehab. Only a piece of trash would steal from "a storage bag attached to a walker" of an elderly woman.

  2. It would be impossible to account for medications stolen from our elderly every day.
