The suspect was able to obtain this information due to a close connection with the reporting party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It came to the officers attention that over the span of 10 months, approximately $10,000 was <strong>Cashapp<\/strong>ed out of the reporting parties account. Due to the above mentioned information, a warrant for Carothers&#8217; arrest was issued by <strong>Municipal Court<\/strong> for Exploitation of a Vulnerable Person. Shortly after, Carothers was found with a stolen firearm in his possession and was discovered to be a convicted felon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carothers was then charged with Exploitation of a Vulnerable Person, Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon, and Possession of a Stolen Firearm.
