Three Graniteville women have been jailed on allegations they were involved in a scam that bilked an elderly man out of more than $150,000 he received from Norfolk Southern after the 2005 train derailment, officials said.
Minni Lee Jeff, of Mt. Arthur Drive, 70, faces the most serious allegations of abuse.
She is charged with two counts of exploitation of a vulnerable adult. She is also accused of forcing the 78-year-old victim, Elija Earl, to live in a shed in her back yard without plumbing. Earl is now in protective custody, and all three women have been charged.

People who hurt and take advantage of old people are just utterly shameless. They all deserve to rot in jail. I just hope authorities will strengthen their efforts in identifying and arresting these felons. Our elders deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and care.
