Grand Jury Indicts Former Nursing Home Aide for Theft from Elderly Resident

Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports on June 26, 2025 an arrest was made after a comprehensive criminal investigation which resulted in a Grand Jury Indictment against a 19-year-old former nursing home aide who stole a significant sum of money from an elderly resident under her care.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office received an initial report indicating that approximately $23,000 had been fraudulently withdrawn from the bank account of a resident at Woodland Country Manor Nursing Home, located in Oxford, Ohio. With the cooperation of Woodland Country Manor, Detectives immediately initiated a detailed investigation, which included a thorough review of bank records, online delivery services, and shopping platforms. The financial trail ultimately led investigators to identify Aaleagh Hoop, age 19, currently of Greenville, Ohio, as the primary suspect.

Detectives made contact with Ms. Hoop, who admitted to the theft during a formal interview. The case was subsequently presented to a Butler County Grand Jury, which returned a direct indictment on the following felony charges:

• Theft from a Protected Class (Elderly Victim) – Felony of the 3rd Degree

• Misuse of a Credit Card – Felony of the 3rd Degree

With the assistance of the Greenville Police Department, Ms. Hoop was located and arrested in Darke County without incident. She is currently in custody awaiting further court proceedings.

“Stealing is wrong under any circumstances — but stealing from the elderly is particularly vile. It is a complete betrayal of trust, and those who target our most vulnerable citizens will be held fully accountable,” states Sheriff Jones.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the seriousness with which the Butler County Sheriff’s Office investigates crimes against the elderly and the commitment to ensuring justice is served.
