Preliminary
hearing for Wellsville woman will be April 1
By M. Kathryn Hanberg
March 25, 2008 | LOGAN -- Christine A. Forman, 29,
Wellsville, appeared Tuesday before 1st District Court
Judge Ben Hadfield to set a date for a preliminary hearing,
as a result of violating probation on her 2004 conviction
for forgery and theft. The preliminary hearing was set
for April 1.
Forman was arrested Jan. 28 on suspicion of retail
theft. She was initially arrested in 2003 for forgery
and theft, and in February 2004 pleaded guilty to three
counts of forgery and three counts of theft by deception.
An agreement made at the time of her plea required Forman
to pay restitution of $6,419 plus interest, to serve
time in jail and be on probation instead of going to
prison.
Her probation had many conditions, which included
violating no laws. If she is found guilty of retail
theft, there will be a post-sentencing on the charges
from 2003. This could result in a prison sentence, jail
sentence and larger fine.
