“Body camera footage provided by White Settlement police shows the actions taken to keep the victim from losing money. She told the sergeant someone from her bank’s security team needed her to deposit her cash into a Bitcoin ATM.

“White Settlement Police Sgt. James Stewart stepped in to stop an elderly woman in her 80s from sending tens of thousands of dollars to man claiming he was with Chase Bank.

“‘You still haven’t got her name right, you freaking moron,’ he told the scammer.

“‘Yeah, I was pretty curt and mean. I was irritated not just as a police officer but as a human being,’ Stewart told FOX 4.

“However, the first person to take notice was Myndi Jordan. She stopped by the Chevron off I-30 and Cherry Lane Thursday for gas and cash. She says the woman still had wads of hundred-dollar bills in her purse. So she called 911.”
