If someone had a problem, said Contra Costa County Sheriff’s investigators, palmist Sonia (Carla) Williams, 41, promised to solve it by blessing some money--as much as $100,000. All the customer had to do, according to Sgt. Robert Bradshaw, was leave the money with her and come back later. “But instead of getting rid of the problems, she would keep the money.” The woman pleaded innocent in Martinez Municipal Court to 11 felony counts of grand theft.
