A Florida housekeeper allegedly assaulted and robbed her 83-year-old employer on Christmas Eve when she learned the elderly woman did not have enough money to pay her Christmas bonus.

Heather Nelson, 29, attacked and robbed the elderly woman after the victim told her she could not afford the $500 bonus she was demanding, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.

When the victim said that she did not have enough money to pay a bonus, Nelson responded by “physically wrenching the victim’s checkbook from her hand, stealing a check from the checkbook, and then, I guess in an effort to ruin other people’s Christmas as well, stole Christmas cards that were set to be mailed out also containing checks,” Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

“And of course since you were so worried about getting your bonus, we had some extra gifts for you like a keepsake booking photo, a slightly used pair of shower slides, and unlimited access to our world famous one star dining facility where you can enjoy absolutely nothing you eat,” Ivey wrote.

She was booked on a $30,000 bond but released on Thursday.
