A Bradford woman who was charged last week on drug delivery allegations was arraigned on new charges Wednesday, this time for theft allegations.
Jennifer L. Yeager, 36, of 84 ½ High St., was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge David Engman on charges of theft by unlawful taking, a third-degree felony; and access device fraud, a first-degree misdemeanor, court records stated.
According to court records, on Oct. 4, Kane-based state police were dispatched to a theft at 1500 South Ave., Lewis Run, where the alleged victim told police his debit card and $84 in cash were stolen from his pants pocket.
The man told police that Yeager called him on Oct. 3, then showed up at his residence. He took a shower while Yeager helped their son with his homework; the man left his pants on the bathroom floor while Yeager was putting the boy to bed. When he retrieved his pants, the money and card were gone, court records stated.
The man obtained bank statements and allegedly found transactions on his card he did not make. Also, police obtained security camera footage from Walmart and Dunham’s Sports showing Yeager using the card, according to court records.
Court records indicate that Yeager tried to obtain $1,030.30 in nine transactions with the card.
Bail was set at $5,000, and Yeager is scheduled to appear in Central Court on Oct. 26.
Meanwhile, Yeager has a Central Court appearance scheduled today on last week’s charges.
In that case, she’s charged with possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance, a felony; and possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, for allegations that she delivered crack cocaine April 18 in Bradford. She is incarcerated on $20,000 in the case.
Bradford man accused of crafting license plate, inspection
A Bradford is facing criminal charges after allegedly crafting a fraudulent registration plate and inspection sticker for his car.
Justin R. Chapman, 27, of 51 Pleasant St., was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Dominic Cercone on two counts of forgery, second-degree felonies; two counts of altered, forged or counterfeit documents and plates and one count of possession of altered, forged or counterfeit documents and plates, all first-degree misdemeanors, court records stated.
He also faces summary charges of driving without a license, required financial responsibility, operating a vehicle without a valid inspection and display plate card in improper vehicle, according to court records.
Court records indicate that at 1:32 p.m. Sept. 6, a Bradford City police officer spotted a Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Chapman that appeared to have a fraudulent Pennsylvania registration plate on it.
The officer pulled the car over. When the officer asked to see Chapman’s license registration and insurance, he explained he did not have them; the officer noted that the plate appeared to be fraudulent, and Chapman replied that he had just bought the car and did not have the money to get all the required documents, according to court records.
Court records indicate Chapman fabricated the registration plate “out of computer paper, stickers, clear tape and markers,” and the inspection sticker out of the foil from a cigarette pack and clear tape.
Chapman was released on $1,000 unsecured bail, and he is scheduled to appear in Central Court on Oct. 26.
