UPDATE:
The criminal call hearing scheduled for an Indiana woman charged with theft has been continued until next month.
Court documents say 35-year-old Jacqueline Elise Caylor was to appear before Indiana County President Judge Thomas Bianco this morning for her criminal call hearing, however that was continued to next month amid a change in legal defense, according to Indiana County District Attorney Robert Manzi.
She faces theft charges dating back to December 8th, 2022. On that day, 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 Manzi confirmed that all the charges were waived to Indiana County’s Court of Common Pleas. We reached out to her attorney shortly after, but they did not reply to our request for an interview.
Caylor has been free on $25,000 unsecured bail.
Criminal Call is designed to update the court and the parties involved on the progress of a case. Proceedings are usually postponed to a later date, but on occasion, guilty pleas have been entered at the Criminal Call phase.
