BROOKLYN — What was she smoking?
A nanny stole more than $3,000 from “Weeds” actress Mary-Louise Parker — using the star's debit card to take out large sums of cash while she was supposed to be using it to go shopping for Parker's two children, according to prosecutors and a New York Daily News report.
Amanda Hosten-St. Louis, 33, was busted Monday after using the card to make several large cash withdrawals from a Brooklyn Heights Citibank and CVS between April and May, court papers stated.
Parker, 52, who lives in Brooklyn with her two children, caught wind of the scheme after a bank fraud investigator alerted her and she then went to the police.
The nanny is facing charges including with grand larceny, identity theft, criminal possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of personal identification.
She was released without bail after being arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Tuesday.
Her lawyer did not return an immediate request for comment.
Parker has recently guest-starred on another Showtime Series, “Billions.”
The actress said in a 2009 A.V. Club interview that much of her work habit was centered around her family and upbringing.
“Well, I’ve been happy doing the series, because in some ways, it’s really good for my kids if I can do concentrated work, so the rest of the year, I can be with them,” she said during the interview. “I like having regular hours. I’m kind of blue-collar in that sense, you know?”
