Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

So anyways, I'm 18 and I used to live with my grandmother who has multiple mental disorders. While I was living there for a bit of time, she was the sweetest person in the world, bought me pretty much everything. Including online games on Steam. She had a manic episode where she kicked me out. She is now claiming I stole from her when I bought online games while living with her that she gave me permission to buy. Is it possible that I could be arrested for this? Everything I did was legal and I've been searching online to see if I could be accused of identity theft and theft in general. The game site I used has also already taken away the games and I know she has a new credit card now and had her past one eliminated.
