An Indiana woman was charged with theft following an investigation by State Police that dated back to last year.
Troopers from the Indiana barracks have charged 35-year-old Jacqueline Elise Caylor with felony counts of theft by unlawful taking, identity theft, access device fraud, receiving stolen property and forgery. On December 8th of last year, police were contacted by family members of an 88-year-old Indiana woman after they became suspicious of several transactions made from the victim’s bank account. It was also reported that Caylor had been hired as a caregiver when the victim lived in Graceton.
Police said that between June 10th and October 4th of last year, several of her checks were prepared in Caylor’s name and signed without the victim’s permission, and her credit card was used to make several unauthorized purchases. In total, police say over $23,000 was reported stolen.
Caylor contacted Your Hometown Radio Stations and claimed that the charges had been reduced, but Indiana County District Attorney Robert Manzi has confirmed that all the charges were waived to Indiana County’s Court of Common Pleas. We have reached out to her attorney, but he has not yet replied to our request for an interview.
Caylor is free on $25,000 unsecured bail. Formal arraignment is scheduled for April 25th, with a pre-trial conference set for May 19th.
