Florida Man Who Stole More Than $141,000 From Longboat Woman Found In GA says FDLE

A man faces charges after stealing more than $141,000 from an elderly woman in Longboat Key, according to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement news release.
Walther Wilson Godfrey, 45, was charged with grand theft from a person 65 years of age or older of more than $50,000 and criminal use of personal identification.
The investigation began when it was discovered that an elderly woman living in Long Boat Key had over $141,000 taken from her personal bank account over three years and 74 transactions, FDLE said.
In April, an arrest warrant was obtained for Godfrey, who then left the state for Atlanta.
The FDLE Sarasota Field Office led the investigation and worked with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to arrest Godfrey.
Godfrey was arrested on July 1 and transported to Douglas County Jail, FDLE said. He will be extradited to Southwest Florida.
He previously served federal prison time in 2016 for fraud involving identity theft.
