POLICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING A SHOOTING The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office has arrested an Englewood man for allegedly stealing more than $20,000 from an 88-year- old woman who allowed him to live in her home, the office has announced. Anthony Rigali moved in with the victim and her son at 770 Michigan Ave. last July, a news release says. Detectives found that between August and November 2013, the victim signed 14 checks that she thought Rigali was using to pay bills, the release continues. Instead, Rigali used the money himself to pay for things such as overdue child support, a trip to Ohio and the purchase of a truck, the release adds. "Rigali also used the victim's ATM card at least twice to withdraw $600 in cash," it says. Rigali turned himself in to detectives on March 18. He was charged with Exploitation of an Elderly Person at a level between $20,000 and $100,000, according to the report. He was booked into the Sarasota County Jail, where he is being held on $25,000 bond, the release notes.
