Jessica Henry, 31, and Gregory Dushan, 28, were charged last week for conning more than $50,000 and property from a DeLand veteran.

A Florida man and his girlfriend were arrested this month after they allegedly scammed an 82-year-old U.S. Coast Guard veteran out of his life savings.

The veteran told detectives that he had given Henry a substantial sum of money three years ago after she asked him for financial assistance to feed her children and transport them to school. Six months ago, Henry contacted the victim for additional help, claiming she had just been arrested and needed money to pay her probation officer for a urine test.

Dushan and Henry allegedly continued to intimidate the victim up after the police launched their investigation earlier this month. The veteran told authorities he received a call from Dushan shortly before his arrest on Wednesday demanding he drop the charges against Henry or face being killed in the next half hour.
