A 59-year-old Portland woman moved in with her ailing mother three years ago to help care for her.
Instead, police say, the daughter obtained at least six fraudulent credit cards in her mother's name and charged more than $40,000 to the accounts.
Now, the daughter, Elizabeth Marie Patterson, faces a 74-count indictment accusing her of multiple identity theft, forgery, criminal mistreatment and theft charges.
She pleaded not guilty to the charges at her arraignment in Multnomah County Circuit Court on Monday.
